| Brain fart. Nosler starting load for 55 gr. And h335 is 23 gr. Somehow my brain said 22.5 so I loaded 50 rounds should I pull them or are the safe too shoot? |

Are we talking about 223 if so the powder manufacturer states 21.3 as a starting place and 22.7 as max. http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle snowman357 Nope, Might want to check back with your own link. It say . HodgdonH335.224"2.200"23.0 3,018 40,800 CUP25.3 3,20349,300 CUP |

As snowman said if you search other data I'm sure you will find a start load lower than what you are using.
BTW: I have not seen any warnings stating that starting a little under the published start load using H-335 is a potential problem. Using H-335 and other ball type powders for "true" reduced loads is not often done but again if there is a specific warning against it I have not seen it yet. Just as a general statement, if you are using a powder that IS deemed safe for use in reduced loads it is certainly safe to start lower than the published start load. Motor |

Different brand bullets create different pressures. Hornady uses the most technologically advanced piezo electric transducer method for measuring pressure and their data reflects actual peaks discovered when fired through their Universal receiver. Don't assume just because both bullets weigh 55 grains that their data can be swapped without problems. I have a old article that tested a dozen different 150 grain .30 caliber bullets in .30-06 and the pressure swing was over 15,000 c.u.p. using identical powder charges even though every bullet weighed the same. |

You must have selected a differnt bullet then I did I got the same results as posted.
