You can log onto Hodgens website and for free look up load data for a pistol or rifle for free. All you have to do is use there site to email the data to yourself. It will list different powders and bullet types and weights. Other bullet sights and powder sight offer the same thing and can all be had for free and then printed out.

Here's a link...good resource.

http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp

There is also the PDF of their Basic Loading Manual available for download. It only lists max loads though, so not overly helpful.

I use the maximum charge of Varget under a Nosler 120 grain Ballistic Tip. Deer never move more than a few steps and there is no exit wound.
