    I just went through about 5 years of range reports and made lists of all my best loads. I've tried a pretty good variety of jacketed as well as lead cast loads in many different milsurp rifles/calibers.

    I thought I would share my list of what has worked best for me so far. I hope someone finds it helpful.

    As usual, check all loads vs published data.

    Ignore where specific rifles are mentioned, just keeping my loads sorted out for different guns.

    All my "4xxx number" powders are IMR in case I forgot to specify on some.
    All my cast loads are powder coated using the shake and bake method with either HF Red or Eastwood Ford Light Blue
    All sizing is done with Lee push thru sizers, custom sizes were honed out by me manually except the .301 for the Carcano, which Buckshot made for me.
    I do shoot gas check designs without gas checks in some instances, so none are used unless specified.
