What do you mean "all over the place"? They only show one set of start/finish daa for 55g with 2206H.

I see what he means. They list 3 different brands of 55 gr projectiles and the min and max is very different for all of them.
A Barnes max load is 22.6 gr while a Speer starting load is 25 gr. . I can understand the confusion

The Barnes is a copper bullet.

I can only assume Spudlee is new to reloading and is being confused by too much choice.
