.224 55gr Hornady HOLLOW POINT-BOAT TAIL W/C

[Greg]

I'm about to order these. I have the latest Hornady reloading book but can't fine any data in this pill. Anyone got any info on these or should I use the Hornady data for FMJ on these? I'm using CFE 223 powder, I reloaded some Nosler Ballistic tip, Nosler book tells me 26.0 Start to 28.0 Max for their 55 gn spritzer, I've found a good load at 27.1-27.3 using my Dillon xl650. Hornady book is a lot lower charges for the FMJ 55gn.

Did you look at Hodgdons reloading data? Don't forget you can use a heavier bullets data as well. My Hornady book has info for a 60gr HP.

I called hornady a while back on load data for these. I was told to use the data for the fmjbt.

That being said, I load 23.1 H335 at 2.20 COL.

Hope this helps.

Thanks I'll use that Hornady FMJBT data for my loads with CFE 223 and HPBT W/C. We'll see how it works. Load data between bullet makers and powder makers is so different for the same weight of pills. At least I'll have a starting point. I'll be ordering 500 of these to start Wes!
