What powder for 15.5 grain charge of extra lite in a Hornady Apex loader?

Seeing as Alliant hasn't published it yet, you might have to experiment.

Assuming you mean bushing number, according to a MEC bushing chart that shows Extra Lite, it has nearly the same density as Red Dot. Based on that, I would start with a #429 and go from there.

Nebs beat me to it. I came up with about a 425 but in reality, you will need a collection of bushings and a good scale to get the the final answer- safely..

Extra-Lite is a little fluffier than the bushing charts indicate. I'm using a 432 bushing for 15 grains in my 366.

Thanks, know I have an idea where to stat. I have a pretty good selection of bushings.

In my APEX 3.2 Bushing #432 throws an average of 15.2625 grains, #435 throws an average of 15.433 gains. Going to use the #435.
Thanks again. Plenty of time to reload with what is going on in New Jersey.

Stay safe!
