429 DE

Long time reloader. Going to hand load this thing.

I see factory blem barrels, so I might pick up a 50AE.. as well, just because.

But I have the dies, powder, primers, new starline cases and projectiles to get started.

Going to start at 27g H110 with a 220g fp at around 1.60 oal.

Looks like I can work up from there. But really I'll probably zero in on something that cycles reliably without breaking my wrist.

Does that sound ok to those who also reload the 429?

I have checked with other data and it seems ok. Maybe I could start lighter, but apparently H110 likes a full load. Or would 25g be a better start?

Thanks

I'll post back chrono info once I'm dialed in.
