I got some 220gr. lead cast bullets the other day but my load data book dostnt give info for that grain. The powder i plan to use is 700x. Dose any know of a good load for it? thanks for any comments.
I use this method any time there is no published data for a specific weight. Just pick the next closest bullet that weights MORE (usually withing 5-10 grains) and start slightly above the minimum data for the heavier bullet.
Lyman 49th reflects a 225 grain cast lead using 700X between 4.0 and 5.0 grains of powder. Anywhere in there should a safe load, starting low and working up. I also agree with post #2 using 230 grain bullet data. Start low and work up.
Be careful, low weight charges 4.4 or under throw very erratically in my lee auto disk. It throws .5gr charges about 10% of the time. 4.5 and above is fine but does throw +/-.2gr. Like others said, just use 230gr lead data.
