[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3969575, member: 27991"] Nope, I keep them all. New books list POPULAR and NEW cartridges and new powders. Old manuals list older cartridges. New Nosler doesn't have any .30 Carbine data. '83 Hornady has .30 Carbine. Nosler has .327Fed, Hornady doesn't. Newer manuals are more conservative. Powder lots can vary. I rarely load anywhere near MAX and approach it very slowly. Best accuracy is normally somewhere in the middle. In my revolver, 231 achieves optimum accuracy at 11.4 gr. Your listing of 10 gr - 12.0 gr and 10.2 gr - 13.0 gr are good. Given those 2 listing on a new (to me) cartridge, I would begin with 11.0 gr, 11.2 gr, 11.4 gr, 11.6 gr and 11.8 gr. Loading 5 rounds of each and comparing. All data is good. Send me that Lyman, don't throw it away. [/QUOTE]
