What do yall do when you find conflicting load data. I'm getting ready to do some .223 loads with IMR 4198 and hornady 55gr SP for my 20" varmint rifle chambered in .223 wylde.
my issue is I really don't know where to start. The Hornady manual shows start load of 17.4 gr with a max load of 20.0 gr. The Nosler data is starting at 19.5 going up to 21.5 and the sierra (AR-15 DATA) starts at 20.1 and goes to 22.5 . I have noticed that it seems Hornady data seems to almost always be on the more conservative side with most of their data. So after seeing all of that I went to the IMR data and they show max of 21.5 I'm thinking I will just start 10% below the IMR data and work up in .5 gr increments from there. what do you think?
