I am relatively new to reloading (long enough to go through some availability issues since the election) but brand new to this site. I have 3 reloading manuals and tend not to wander far from printed instructions. I recently received a couple of hundred "X-treme" 124gr FP (plated) 9mm bullets from a person who had given up on reloading. The web site for X-treme says to use load data for "cast bullets". I can find load data for 120gr, 121gr,124gr RN and125gr cast bullets. COAL data is different (no suprise) even if I were to try "close enough" with bullet weight.
As I said, I lean towards following instructions pretty closely, but I can't find load data for a 124gr FP cast bullet. So far, I have only used Unique powder (not that I couldn't get something else - powder is easier than primers).
Could someone offer load data? I have spent hours on the web trying to get a load sheet and can't locate. Shy of load data, a little guidance would also be appreciated.
