I pulled a bullet awhile back, and measured 5.6gr. They also use the hollow base 115gr bullets.Looked like WSF powder.

Never ever guess which powder is used in a factory cartridge. That is down STUPID! If you want similar ballistics, then chrono the factory stuff, and then carefully work up the load!

What the above means is that major factories use powders not commonly available to the hobby handloader; major factories pressure-test when any component lot changes and adjust accordingly.
No, you can't buy it.
