    I am using this bullet. I don't really like sharing my loading data but I don't think my loads are hot but then everyone guns are a bit different so use good judgement.

    I am shooting a Dan Wesson SuperMag with an 8" barrel. I size to 0.357" and gas check the bullets using 50/50 lube and Lyman #2 alloy

    My starting loads were:

    19 grains of H110 and the velocity was 1470 fps

    22 grains of IMR 4227 and that velocity was 1585 fps a better starting load would be 21 grains.

    I worked up to 20 grains of H110 for a velocity of 1512 fps.

    I was not looking for max loads I just wanted to get to 1500 fps. I am using magnum pistol primers not rifle primers.

    I assume you have publish load data for other bullets so you can compare my loads to those.
