.40 data?

Anyone have powder charge datat for the 135grn RS .40 bullet? My Lyman book only goes down to 150grn.
Thanks!

No, sorry -didn't know there was one.What calibre are you loading, a hot 10mm Auto, a lower pressure 40S&W or a rifle ?
Lyman only have their own products listed for obvious reasons, but the 150gn bullet STARTING data {less 10% to be cautious... maybe} should be OK for a lighter projectile as a starting load for experimentation surely?

Better check with Hornady Book to be safe.....

Oops, sorry guys, I should have been more specific.
I'm loading .40 S&W for a G23C and a Berretta M-96FS.
I have Bullseye and Win. 231 on hand.
Thaks for the help!
