Hogdon's has nothing that I could find.  I know solid copper bullets are longer than their lead based counterparts typically, I want to be careful about compressed loads.  I would like to be able to make several hundred H.D.?coyote rounds because buying the factory made stuff is pricey.

Any resources out there?

Thanks in advance.

Go to the Barnes site.

This is one series of examples with other powders:

Compare the Barnes data & the Hodgdon data and work up some loads.

62gr TTSX is the longest I’ve used (.98”) vs 1.036” for the 70gr TSX

I loaded them to 2.26” and used 24.4gr Reloder15

Sorry that’s not quite what you’re working with but the closest info I have

I worked up a load using 23.6gr of Varget. I seat them as long as the mag will allow (2.26"+). Fairly warm load, but extremely accurate for me.

Edit: After looking at the latest Barnes data, that is basically the starting charge weight....I worked up that load years ago and I guess I am behind the times.

Barnes data is probably the least conservative published data out there.

Their site is like a manual from the 70's!
