Go to the powder company's web site for lots of free load data.

For smokeless Iuse 4.9 gr of Clays and a 200 gr boolit. Great for pistol and rifle. Little to no recoil

Hope this helps

Any brass, 6.0g of HP-38( W-231), Federal primers, with a 200g RNFP. About June or so, IMR is coming out with a new powder called Trail Boss that loks quite interesting for the larger calibers. There's data on IMR's site for it now. There is quite a lot of data for CAS on Hodgdon's site as well........Buck 8) ::) ;)
