IMR4320 7.62x54R Load Data Needed

[tungngroove2000]

well due to the current powder situation, I am forced to load with IMR4320. Not that i'm complaining as I've been using it for 303 British with very favorable results. As a relatively new reloader, my manuals do not list this powder. I posted previously for some data in 303 British and was graciously supplied with scanned copies from and older manual or 2. (special thanks to Muskyhunter1).
Anyway, if anyone can assist with some data for IMR4320 in 7.62x54R it would be appreciated. i'd be interested in a variety of bullet weights as I have various to work with.
thanks in advance.

For liability purposes, I am not recommending or implying that any of the following information is safe.

IMR4320 is almost identical to Hodgdon Varget, burn rate and charge weights are almost identical for most cartridges.
While I don't load 7.62x54R, I use varget load data for IMR4320(working up loads of course) and have had very good results doing so.

Varget seems to be a tad bit slower burning so I'd reduce the IMR4320 max charge weights by at least 2gr to be safe.

The endless knowledge and helpfulness of CGN'ers never ceases to amaze me. Having made this post I was almost instantly contacted by 2 members offering up scanned copies of older guides containing the information I needed. I will be spending the rest of this winter weekend working up a few loads to test out asap. Thanks again to everyone for sharing the wealth and I look forward to being able to pay it forward to someone else in need.
Things like this just remind me why I joined CGN and it's refreshing indeed compared to the "rants" and "idiocies" that go on occasionally.
Have a great weekend!!!

THIS IS FOR USING IMR4320 POWDER IN 7.62X54R
This data was taken from Hornady Handbook of Rifle
And Pistol loading Vol 2 , it's from the early 1970's
ALL BULLETS TESTED WERE 308 DIA HORNADY BULLETS
FMJ BULLETS ARE USEABLE WITH THIS DATA
