Just talked to Rob Bear at Cooper Firearms and asked if they would supply a list of Coopers suggested load data for cartridges that they chamber for. He seemed delighted to supply this info for us, but would take a few days for him to get all the info together.

Larry,

Excellant idea - both the forum and this load data! This information will be a valuable resource to many new Cooper owners. It might be wise for Jim to post a "sticky" to the top of this forum advising readers to work up from lighter loads etc.

Thanks to you, Jim and Rob

Okaaaaay...

I see that it is there now - sure hope it wasn't there when I posted the suggestion to add it. If it was already there, it looks like the eyesight is going too!

Not yet Jeff. I will try and to call Rob early this week and see if he has gotten the load info together.

Just received the load data from Rob at Cooper Inc. However there are two conflicting loads for the 25-06 & 25-06 IA that I need to get cleared up before I post the info. Hopefully I will have it posted by tomorrow.
