BlueBoy69 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 If you only have H4895, there's data in the Hornaday manual (12th edition) I have, data below. Starting load = 43.9 gr Starting velocity = 2,700 fps Max load = 51.9 gr Max velocity = 3,200 fps For note, this is from a 22" 1/12" twist barrelled Winchester Model 70 rifle. There's also data for the Barnes 110 gr TSX on Hodgdon's reloading data centre. http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle You could use that as a starting point, but be aware, that's an all copper-alloy bullet and they commonly have a higher shot-start pressure and bore friction. The Vihtavuori and Western Powders manuals have quite a few loads for the Hornaday 110 gr V-max, but you'd have to get another type of powder. https://blog.westernpowders.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/WPHandloading-Guide-7.0-Web-REV.pdf https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading-data/rifle-reloading/?cartridge=30 https://www.vihtavuori.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Vihtavuori_Reloading_Guide_2020_ENG_www.pdf That's all I could find for a quick check.

Hollowpoint Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Thank you so much for the reply and info. At least i have something to go off for now. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miki Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Can you still get H4895 as its not REACH compliant (as it contains Ddinitrotoluene) ? Viht N140 is becoming the standard (a quick internet search reveals) and would be more readilly available.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
