This thread is where we can post all our favourite loads.

Pet load recipes only, no discussion in this thread.

Please restrict your post here to recipes, If you want to discuss post and loads then do so in the Handloading forum, so as not to clog up this thread with discussion.

Caution all loads posted here are used at your own risk.

MAH is not responsible for the quality of posts here and any loads should first be checked with published relaoding data.

Remember what works in someone elses rifle might not work in yours and there is always the possibility of errors in the post so use with care and always apply safe handloading practices and refer to powder manufacturers published data for verification of maximum loads.
