My buddy has a Heym model 88 B that is regulated to the Hornady 400 grain GMX loads. I'm trying to come up with a hand load for 400 grain Woodleigh FMJ bullets that will match that as close as possible.

Any suggestions appreciated. 163bc

sent you a PM with some data

Hornady loads their ammo with 81.5 gr of H4831sc,this was what I was told by one of their techs when I called them,my Woodleigh soft point load is 81 grs,regulates perfectly,I am guessing that the FMJ will proabably be very close to that load,I wwould start with maybe 78 grs & work up to regulation to be safe.

GMX ?

Sorry typo. I think they are DGX

That's pretty much what I figured...they have so many confusing designations I thought that they might have snuck a new slug in there.
