I can't seem to find load data for 220gr plated. I have a couple of books (which I'm thinking might be outdated) which are 5 years old and have checked online and still cant find what I'm looking for. I have Unique which I'm trying to save for my 45's but loaded up 100 240gr .44mag. I have Bullseye, H110 (300gr xtp's) and some Greendot. I've found a load for 200gr using Greendot and Bullseye but cant find the load data for a 220gr bullet and for that matter the only one I have for my 240gr is Unique. I also have a few 210gr swc hp and some 300gr xtp's. I'm shooting these through my Vaquero 5 1/2" so I know it can handle a little kick. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone knows a good online site or a good book I could get or just flat out has the info. Many thanks | ||

Berrys' recommends using mid range jacketed data for their plated bullets. Hodgdon has online load data for 220 jacketed bullets. | |||

Try to find some more Unique or an equivalent substitute. Treat your plated bullets like soft swaged or cast bullets and used information for a Lyman or other manual with cast bullet data. There is some data for 240 gn swaged bullets in the Speer and Hornady manuals. Just use that data for you 220 grn bullets. They are NOT fit for jacketed equivalent loads anyway so the mid-range loads should work for what you need. | |||
