So in the difficult times i find myself with 129 gr. bullets, fed primers and some 4831 leftover from loading 270 win hunting loads.

I also have some h335 and unique, but thats it for "rifle " powders.


I found plenty of data for heavier bullets and the powder i want to use but nothing that light. I just want to do some case forming and a "break in" shooting a few times while i watch for a deal good enough to pay hazmat....


anyone have ideas? (prefer experience) or links to load data i am not finding?

Thanks
 
I know that 6.5 Creed with 4831 with 140 gr bullets your stopping point is compression before pressure. I'm not sure where you will be able to get with a 129 but 44 grains was compressed enough with a 140 that you get a good amount of seating creep due to compression of the load. The rounds are creeping down range too. Running high 2500 real low 2600.
I was using H4831SC basically just messing around. Loaded up to 45gr which felt like you were seating a pillow.
