You are most welcome. Just wished more folks were reading the posts. Shame to see this forum die. I've learned a lot since I first joined.

My hunting load was 70 grains of 3F in my .50 and also my .45 and 20 ga smoothbore.  I cut a few 30/06, and some other cases holding a smaller amount, and have brass measures for just about everything I shoot.  Thanks for posting the chart.
