Load Data Request - IMR 4064 & RE-15 using Hornady 178 bthp

Hi all, lost my loading manual during a recent move. Was hoping some of ya'll with manuals or experience loading these can help me out.

What I gathered from old posts were identical for both. Which is a little weird considering RL-15 leaves plenty of room in the case.

4064:
41-5 Start
45.3 Max

RL-15
41.5 Start
45.3 Max

I'm using Hornady match brass and GM210M primer

If I can get some data from diff manuals and perhaps some input from your experience, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

My 175gr loads with RL 15 has plenty of room in them also. Works great.

I load 42.0 grains of IMR 4064 behind Sierra 175gr BTHP in my 308 Winchester using Federal match or LC match brass and Wolf primers. It is accurate and does not have a pressure problem.

Thanks! But hmm such a big discrepancy between each of them.

Yeah, I know. I have found some great load data online that conflicts with some of the powder mfg's, like over max by a few grains, but just worked my way up while watching for high pressure signs.

But it is amazing the huge differences, like you say, who knows just be careful and always start low and work your way up and you should avoid any costly and dangerous situations, common sense!!

Oh, I wanted to add that I have found some great loads using Nosler's Load Data

http://www.nosler.com/load-data

Try using the load with Asterisk showing most accurate load for the particular powder.
