so i just started using reloader 19 on whim my brother in law bought a pound and low and behold the stuff worked awesom in my 300 wsm, but when i asked them for data in a caliber they didnt list on there site i emailed them and today they replied by saying we dont have any data on that case?? i thought what is up with that?? so i am on a mission to find out if anyone has played with this stuff, i am thinking i may be able to use .270 win data on it but not 100% if its safe, i am trying to load the reloader 19 in my 6.5 rem mag, any thoughts??

pyro, RL19 is pretty close to 4350, 4831, and 3100 in burn rate.  The only data I have for RL19 in a 6.5 Rem mag is from my Barnes manual, which shows a starting charge of 48.0 gr (2894 fps) and max charge of 53.0 gr (3196 fps) -- of course, using their bullets.  I think it's safe to start with their recommended starting charge regardless of which brand/ type 120gr bullet you're using and working up from there.  I'm assuming you're talking about 120 gr bullets; I seem to have heard you say that somewhere before.  I've never loaded for this round, so I'm only going by the data in my manual here.
