    IMR 8133 has been unavailable for a couple of years now, maybe why its not listed in up to date sierra load data. Hodgdons load data list 75.5gr max for 162gr pill which is what I've been loading for 162eldx. The few loads I've tried using the 165gr sierra i have backed off the charge a bit to allow for the extra weight different ogive etc but need to borrow my mates garmin crony to see where I'm at with what speed/they are doing and get an indication off pressure levels.

    Sounds good. I see the 75.5gr is a compressed load. You seem to be on the right path. All part of the fun . good luck and enjoy.
