Can anyone help me out? Im looking for the load data for Hornady 129gr SST & 140gr HPBT with H-4350.

min-max charge, COAL, and brass trim length would all be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hodgdon has data, have you looked there? I just don't think it's a good practice to ask for data from a bunch of reloaders on a forum, too much room for error. Especially considering that there is more than one 6.5 cartridges out there, just saying....

He listed the Cartridge, the bullet, the powder and asked from a specific source ... and I gave him exactly what he asked for .... and I triple checked the data I typed before pressing the "post" button ... unlike some on the internet. I could have copied the page out of the book or posted a photo of it ... but that would have been copyright infringement ...

Now those folks who ask for a favorite load or the like(or make the the statement that I can't find any data for cartridge XX) ... maybe are/surely are asking for some untested(by a major source) data ... not in this case! I would not trust data from some/most of the folks on the internet ...

As Gamestalker has said ...be careful where you get your data!
 
I appreciate all of the insight and your time to post the actual data from the book. I had a really good idea of what it should be based on some other data and testing results and by visiting Hodgdons website. But, there were no specifics as to trim length or COAL with those specific bullets. Just trying to get closer to where I need to be if you know what I mean.

And yes I did try Hornadys site for load data, they only list some very obscure wild cat cartridges. Thanks again for the information and fair warnings
