I shoot alot of nosler etip bullets, but I have ran into a couple issues. 1st issue i dont see 130 grain et bullet for the 26 nosler so I am going to load 130 cx bullet. I can find load data for the 120 grain etip . Does anyone have a formula how to change the powder charge from the 120 grain etip to a starting load for the 130 cx ?

By the looks of this i was under loading my rounds trying to find a load for it . I started at 64.0 of retumbo and worked up to 68 grains . I did notice on the smaller loads 64.0 thru 66.0 the gun shot it fine but when I got to the 66.5 up 68.0 the gun had alot of smoke after I fired each shot. I load for my 28 nosler with no issues at all . By this data I am way under what I should be . Am I reading that correctly?
