I need load data for my MP 40-160 LHP bullets. I am using AA5. By using data between 155gr - 170gr bullets, the online load data falls between 6.5-7.6gr. An old load manual I have lists 7.4gr-8.2AA5 for 160 lead bullets. An Oregon Trail manual between 155-170 bullets falls between 6.2-6.7gr Does anyone have other load references using AA5 for this weight bullet as a reference? Thanks.

I was given the load data I needed from another forum. Thanks

I've got some, what powder are you using?

Just use 185gr data & work it up as needed.

I shot small samples of hex and round hollow points. 6.2gr AA5 worked best with the hex and speer cases, and 6.6gr AA5 worked best for the round hollow point and Fed case. Here's a photo of the 6.6gr load shot at 18 yds
