Need .30 cal load ideas

I have some .30 cal. Fiocchi that seems quite hot compared to my reloads. Since I don't have a chronograph I go by felt recoil and all my working loads are not as hot as factory. I did work up a 9mm load once and (by felt recoil) thought it was close to factory. I did get a chance to chronograph this load and it was only 100 fps slower than factory. I felt therefore, that one can determine a lot by felt recoil. Thus your impressions are probably correct.
