I can't find load data for this jacketed bullet. I have looked in the Lyman 49th ed reloading handbook and the 2008 Hodgdon annual reloading manual. They do list 180 jacketed HP's. I plan on loading these for a 40 S&W XD. Would it be OK to use those listed loads for HP's, since the cal. and weight are the same? Or, if someone could direct me to a source for this specific bullet load, I would appreciate it. I did searches on the manf. website and also Googled, to no avail. Being a newbie, I don't want to take any chances due to ignorance.

As long as the overall length/bearing surface is the same or close the data should be interchangeable. You run into problems with the Barnes/Sicorroco solid copper bullets because of the weight difference. You are OK with that one.
