its a Lyman 195 gr lead RN bullet, I figured 200 load would work, does anyone have load data for this bullet, I dont want any super speed, I had a original WW yellow box of lead RN 200 grain M+P 500 FPS loaded ammo, gold lube on the bullet. I'd like to replicate this load, or a 700 FPS load, I have 13 LBs of Win 231 which I'm using up in 9mm, .45acp, and now on to .38s, any info would help, Hodgdon site only goes to 170 gr. bullet. I sold this Lyman here or some place on the net, made over 1K bullets and then sold it, have all Lee molds now, cheaper and easier to use than steel molds, any help. thanks
