Where can I find load date for Remington 155 40 cal bullets, Have Lyman, Horniday, Spear and Hodgdon Load books, Remington bullets not listed. Any suggestions

go by the bearing length and shape of the bullet. [use what's closest in the books pictures]
start low and work up.

What RFR said.

Same thing for cast.
There are countless molds varieties and limited info for a specific boolit or bullet. Often your particular
slug isn't listed. Find something close and use the proven techniques of starting low and working up.

I load and shoot that same bullet. I used to work for Uncle Whiskers and was issued a lot of Remington ammo in .40 cal., but it is too hot (as in destructive) to shoot in my personal guns. I pull the ammo down and load that bullet with 5.2 grains of WW 231. I get good accuracy with this load, not real hot, but good for paper targets.

As always, check loading data against published sources!

Thanks to all for replies and help. I have been reloading since 1962. Also casting since 1973 for black powder rifles, but I am new at reloading and casting for hand guns. The reason that I asked about jacketed bullets is because I have browsed other forums and the people on this forum seem to be more helpful and knowledgeable. I believe " if in doubt seek help".
