Just got some rounds from Bayoubullets & cant seems to find any data for
them. Does Anyone have any load data for 9mm 95-RN & 105-FP grain cast
bulletts using 700X?
Lyman manual nor Hodgdon site doesnt seems to have
anything for casting bullets. I'm told from a different thread the "Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook"
Should have some data for that load.

Your Input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Tazman...
it's relatively close to what im looking for... I think i'll try a light load from this data. May be there isnt a load data for 95 & 105gr cast bullets.

What I did was split the difference between the load data to get a load for the 95 grain boolit. You can always use load data for a slightly heavier boolit as well.
May not be a full house load but it will be safe.

That's the idea!

Safe and sane.

Find something close and work up. Loads for hevier boolits work as well.
There is often not a load for a barticular boolit. The LEE .358 140gr. SWC for example. There is a load on the Alliant website that is close. I run 5.0 grains of Unique with this boolit. The LEE 125 RF is another boolit that I use for 9mm. I don't have my data with me, but 4.0 grains of Unique with that one in the 9mm.

FWIW, and no offense to the OP, but I tell every new reloader (and those with experience too) to find a load combination (bullets, powder, charge), before purchasing components! Many fewer headaches that way, and no un-usable components...

There are no unusable components! Just need more calibers to load for:mrgreen:
