I am loading 5.7X28 FN for a friend of mine and I need some more loading data. My Lee's 2nd Edition list 35gr, 40 gr and 45gr bullets and only 3 powders. Can anyone point me to additional data sources? Thanks.

The Fiveseven Forum's reloading section has a considerable amount of data on the cartridge:

That is the place to look for "off the book" data. I printed a bunch off but have yet to try any other than what is in lyman.

A hint from AR-15.com do not clean the poly coating from the cases it is necessary for function

I am really getting into something. I wish I had asked the question before I cleaned the cases. This was also pointed out on the FIVESEVENFORUM. I am beginning to feel overwhelmed.

There are those that say....the varnish is mainly for full auto p90 and they will function fine in anything semi. I have not tested this statement but if you already have everything AND well cleaned brass I would load up a set answer how they function....but that is me.

I plan to test the theory and will report back.
