Mke / TxI'll look and see what I might can dig up, but in the mean time have you asked the manufacturer if they have any data?
That's usually the best source.

15.2 gr 2400, Win WLP
20.0 gr WW296, Win WLP
16.0 gr AA#9, Win WLP

MTGunnerMK/TX, I did ask the manufacturer if he loaded these cast bullets. His reply was to check with Buffalo Bore and they will give no loading info. I will try the W296 as I have some of this powder. Thanx. MTG
