just found a couple of pounds of H5010, at a price i couldn't pass up, and i need some load data for it with 649gr. bullets. any idea on where to find a starting load for it?
right now i'm using WC860, but it is impossible to get now.

Starting load = 215 grains.  And work up until it gets accurate or the bolt gets tight on extraction.  I've found my best results with ball bullets, m33 class like yours at around 220-225 grains with IMR-5010.  H5010 is very similar burn rate to the best of my knowledge.
