Hi I am getting ready to load up my first 50BMG handloads. I have some 750gr A-Max's and I have a Hornady manual. My manual lists a low of 185.5gr of H50BMG and a max load of 214.9gr of H50BMG. However, Hodgdon's reloading data center site lists a max load as 233gr of H50BMG. Why such a difference? I also have a bunch of south african 690gr ball. Since my manual only lists data for A-Max's and the hodgdon site only lists max loads (and only for 655gr and 750gr projectiles, nothing in between), I don't really know where to find a reasonable starting load. Since the south african ball stuff is so common, I was hoping someone here would have a good place to start? The rifle is a Bohica MkIII with a 30" barrel. Thanks for any help!
