I have a box of 40 cal 180gr RNFP Polymer Jacket and 38 cal 125gr. Where can i find lode data on these bullets? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks Dan

Most coated bullets are sized larger like lead bullets at .401"/.356" compared to .400"/.355" etc. and I have used lead load data with good results.

While newer published load data focus more on jacketed/plated bullets, some include lead load data as listed on this post - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/looking-to-start-reloading.871380/page-2#post-11564314

Here is a listing of older manuals that have more lead load data - https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...-collection-of-reloading-data-old-and-current

I shoot a lot of coated lead bullets and always use lead data. I bought a box of those same bullets to use in my 10mm and they ran great. I know you are using them in a 40S&W but for reference I loaded for my 10mm with 7.3 grains of Autocomp with OACL of 1.250” got very consistent velocities of 1,145-1,157 fps with good accuracy.

As the fellers above, use lead bullet data. I have been PCing and purchasing Hi-Tek bullets for a while and always start a load work up with lead bullet data. K.I.S.S. I also use lead bullet methods (sizing and loading PCed the same as I do my nekkid cast lead bullets)...

Ah, Gallant bullets. I had just discovered their .45 200 gr roundnose when the panicdemic struck and they quit making them in favor of the 230 and a few other more common bullets.
