    Double check my 7.62 nato load data

    Cases are prepped for charge and bullet seating! Help me ease my mind and double check my load data please.

    LWRC repr 16"
    165gr sierra spbt
    LC 08 case length 2.005
    IMR 4895 start at 41.7gr, work up .3gr increments
    COAL 2.750
    CCI 200 primers


    The lee manual starts the load at 42.7 but since it's military brass, should I lower by 1 or 2 grains?

    Anyone have similar load data?

    your ok

    you only lower 1 to2 grains for the MAX load

    not the beginning or minimum load

    as always, check for pressure signs and STOP once you see primers cratering etc etc

    I'm sure more experienced reloaders can chime in
