I just ordered 1k of these to get myself started in reloading. Powder will be W-231 which a kind MDS member will be picking up for me in NC Friday. Couple of questions for those much more experienced:
Looking at Hogden's website, they list RN, but not LRN. Should I be using the data from the RN section? C.O.L. = 1.100" and starting at 4.3gr of powder with velocity of 1079 and a max of 4.8gr with a velocity of 1135.
On Xtreme's website, they have this for their "Load data":
"Load Info:
- Our Copper Plated Bullets can be run at mid-range jacketed velocities or higher end lead velocities. We do not recommend velocities over 1500 FPS (Feet Per Second) and only a light taper crimp.
Any velocities over 1200 FPS we recommend either our Heavy Plate Concave Base or Hollow Point products for superior accuracy. We do not recommend velocities over 1500 FPS (Feet Per Second) and only a light taper crimp.
- All of our Hard Cast Lead Bullets are approximately 18 on Brinell, our Cowboy lead bullets are approximately 15 on Brinell."
