I need a 10mm 220 gr load

I need a load for pig hunting.
This is a very hardcast plated boolit from thebulletworks.net.
Needs to be 1025 FPS to use through a 5.6" suppressed Delta.

The Accurate Reloading Manual #2 doesn't have any 220gr bullet data, but if you started a grain or so below its start load for the Hornady 200gr HP/XTP, you could probably work up a safe load using either #7 or #9. QuickLOAD confirms these two powders are probably your best choices considering the limited case capacity available when working with a 220gr bullet and a COL of only 1.260".

Try starting with about 5.5 grains of Alliant Power Pistol, and gradually work up about another grain. That should be in the ballpark.
