I have my dad's encore and would like to reload. Is there reloading data specific for short barrel rifle cartridges?

Thanks!


Hornady has separate data for several rifle cartridge Encore handguns. They tend to be a grain or so lower than rifle data with the same bullets and powders.

I tend to use some of the faster burning powders listed for the cartridge to maximize performance. IMR 4064 does really well.
