7.62x25 Data with 85 gr. Sierra?

[35 Whelen]

Anyone have any data for the 7.62x25 and an 85 gr. Sierra, or just data/experience in general for this cartridge?

I've loaded some 85, 90 and 100 gr. bullets with powders such as AL2400, AA#9 and H110, but muzzle flash is beyond ridiculous. As such, I'd like to stick with powders such as Red Dot, 700-X, Bullseye, Unique and similar others.

Thanks,
35W

There have been a couple threads on this recently. I don't have any of my data handy. I'm in the middle of a move and it's packed in a box somewhere.

2 red stars indicates max load of Unique, so obviously you'd want to back it down. Starting load with Unique is 5.5gr according to the Sierra app (6th Edition)
