It seems like low 20s is the place to start. I appreciate all the help. My Remington 1894 and my Parker are some hefty 10s
If you check my spreadsheet you will see that is from published load data printed in the 1960's by Hercules Powder Company. If you look at my notes I cautioned that Red Dot powder may have had a change in formulation and I would start by reducing them by 25% if using in composite barrel guns.
