Ok - Thanks - I'm on it.

Yeah, they show 40 and 50 grain bullets loads for both powders too. I'm just being very careful - or perhaps timid. I've never touched these small calibers before.

I was tired when I wrote this. I, of course, mean recommended "starting load' and do not mean, 'min' (minimum) load. The information does not exist in my Hornady X manual, or Hodgdon's online RELOADING DATA CENTER.

Aside from the Bergers, the Hornady 45gr SP should be excellent. A little hard to read but ...

This should be easier than I'm finding it. I'm starting load development on 204R focused on 2 bullets now: The Sierra 39gr BK, and Hornady 45 gr SP. I've been unable to find published recommended min/max loads for CFE223 and IMR 8208 XBR. Can anyone provide the data and source? Thanks.
