Welcome Allen. Let me say that you are doing a spectacular job of self educating and by utilizing all your available resources, including this forum. What we as hand loaders generally do is gather as much useful information as we can then compile it into a solid starting point for a new loads' development. I can say that more often than not my components do not exactly match the load data i use in determining a starting load. This is a frustrating reality, but with time and exposure you will rapidly develop skill in choosing starting points as well as best components for the desired application.

I'll defer to Woolleyworm (and others) to give you actual load data suggestions as I'm sure he loads allot more of that caliber than I do. He is amongst our most knowledged members here regarding all things reloading.
