1 Get yourself a reloading manual.
2 Begin loading with the start load. 3 Work up watching for pressure signs. Every rifle is different, what works in my rifle may be too hot in yours. Which is why you need to work up a load for your rifle. It can be dangerous to cherry pick a load off the internet. Here is a link to Winchester loading data. Link |

Link Hate to brake it to you, but he is asking because no manual will have info for M855. I stared with 24 grains of H335 for mine, and worked up. H335 is the civvy version of the powder used in M855. I used that powder on the advice on many here that also load SS109 bullets to make a M855 clone load. |

Meaning a Speer manual and their lead core 62 gr FMJBT. Read all about it here, my post is about the 15th one. Link |
