Anybody know where there's any data for a 125 grain boolit in .327?

I just cast a bunch of boolits from my new NOE 314-129 mold. I made the hollow point smaller, and they weigh 125 grains all dressed up. Previously, I have loaded Lyman 314576es which weighed 120 grains, and used Accurate #9. Thia may still be the best powder, but I'm wondering about 4227, and maybe 1680.

Ramshot publishes data for, I think, a 115 grain lead bullet with True BLue and one of their other powders. It is the only published data from the mfg as of a couple mos ago. I use a 314-120-RF from LBT mold. Veral Smith suggested just loading it up with H110 - which I did and it worked fine - but only a coupe cylinders in the middle of winter and I've not gotten back to it yet. H110 caution is to read about it - main info I found is DO NOT load light - there is some danger there - load it heavy. Sorry, I can't remember the grains - I think it was 11 but don't rely on that - it is from my memory.

The new Lyman cast book has some recipies but only up to 100 grain bullet

I'm interested in this subject to - hope you keep us posted or others can add.

For 120 gr lrngc (311576 Lyman) I've been using 9 grs of Accurate #9. It is a first effort, and hasn't been benched yet, but I can hit 130 yard gongs with it, and it doesn't lead. 50/50 and Lars C-Red.
