This guide is intended to be used as a reference. Each individual handloader must determine what is the best and safest load for their equipment. The loads described in this guide were generated at the ballistics test facilities of Western Powders, Inc. in accordance with SAAMI (Shooting Arms and Ammunition Institute) guidelines. All loads are fired through test barrels and individual results fired through different firearms may vary. The handloader is cautioned to read and follow safe reloading practices such as those outlined in the NRA Guide to Reloading before attempting to reload any cartridge.

• Always begin loading at the minimum "Start Load"• Increase in 2% increments towards the Maximum Load• Watch for signs of excessive pressure• Never exceed the Maximum Load
