Little help from somebody with a Hornady manual

[LawnMM]

I'm loading some ammo the next few days and I'm going to try some 178 amax'eseses

My local bass pro is out of hornady manuals, I haven't got around to buying one yet. I've heard you can use the same load you use on 175SMK's but I still would like to verify I'm not over max before I dive right into that.

I use RL15 and currently load my 175SMK's with 44 grains even and get good accuracy and speed out of my 20 incher with it. Can somebody post the RL15 starting and max numbers for the 178 amax? I've spent like an hour googling and can't find it ANYWHERE. Or PM me if you feel posting it is immoral =)

Steve's pages says 35-44g of R15.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna have to start lower and work up I guess. 44gr seems high to just dive into it by switching the projectile.
