Does anyone have a current Nosler reloading manual laying around?

Need some load data for the

.224 cal
60gr ballistic tip w/Cann

BC .270  
SD .171

Only powder i have on hand is BL-C (2)
Or IMR 4895

Thanks.

The Nosler manual doesn't list anything for BLC-2.

But for IMR4895 it list:

23.5gr @ 2,860 fps, 94% load Density

24.5gr @ 2,980 fps, 98% load Density

*25.5gr @ 3,131 fps, **102% load Density (Max load and compressed, approach with caution) (Also listed as most accurate load tested with this powder and gun)

This info is from a 24"Lilja 1-12 twist barrel using Rem. 7 1/2 primers with an OAL of 2.260", and for a 60gr Partition Spitzer BC .228 & SD .171 (close as they listed for what you want)

Find a bullet weight that is close and go with that if there is not one listed . There are a couple bullets I use a lot of that there is NO data listed and I just take a similar style bullet within a few grains and make a test load to test . No need to be anal over a couple grains of bullet weight .

The hodgdon webiste has a nice reloading data section and is a good place to get some info.  It does list .223 loads with the BL-2 powder.
