Did you check the CPBC Website? There was data posted there at one time.

From what I understand is that when you buy the bullets you get the loading information with it.

Mike,

That was my impression too. I got the bullets and no load data.

Hodgdon used to test that bullet. You can also go to Freedom ARms website and there is data listed for the 260 grain JFP bullet that they produced. You could start with that data and work up a load. GS

You might want to give the company a call, I know Oregon Trail, sent me load data for their bullet to me.

That's good advice.

The Hodgdon site only lists a mild Trailboss load for that projectile. While I don't use that projectile. However I am using a 255 grain Westcastings lead SWC which isn't that diffrent. The load I'm using is 26 grains of AR2205 (sold as Hodgdon H4227 in the USA). Not a full house load but still packs a punch. The projectile has one of these modern coatings which doesn't lead up the barrel.

Have just bought a chronograph and hope to measure the velocity next weekend.
