Does anyone have load data for 170gr Lead Flat points in .40 or a manual close by? I only have a few manuals and none list this weight. I will be using either Clays or Titegroup powder. I don't have any more info on the bullets I was given around 500 of them and after letting them age for 10 years I am finally going to load them.

If it were me...
I would use 180 grain lead data & work up from there.

17,800 cup for the 3.3 charge, and 20,900 cup for the 4.0 charge. (Winchester WSP primer, case length .845")

This.


This + 2.... and check their diameter, coulda swore I read that, lead bullets will expand over longer periods of time....  I don't remember how much or how long it takes, but worth checking.
