I am using Universal powder .... it says 5 to 6 grains of universal powder with the bullets I have ... yes I am new to this and I do need advice from you guys .... thanks for your responses .... I have loaded some with this powder ranging 5 to 6 grains with my Dillon 650 XL reloader ... will be checking them today at range about the results ..
Unfortunately I am not a user of Universal powder, but I am sure somebody who is will chime in. According to the data for Hodgdons they claim 5.6 
as the max however those loads posted have been "lawyerized" and other sources will have different data. They show the following(its a bit hard to read due to compressed space, but you can figure it out)
Bullet Weight (Gr.) Order BW Powder Bullet Diam. C.O.L. Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
230 GR. HDY FMJ FP 230 Universal .451" 1.200" 5.1 716 11,800 CUP 5.6 844 16,800 CU
Like I said, I am sure others who actually use Universal can give you some better info. Personally I prefer to use Titegroup or W231.
Good luck
Cheers
