zeezee,

Use steve4102's link to find a comprehensive listing of data for all the powders that Hodgdon distributes (Hodgdon, IMR, Winchester). I'm using a 125g LRN bullet instead of a plated, but it's usually recommended to the lead data for plated bullets.

125g LRN w/ Hodgdon Universal 3.8g Start, 4.3g Max
125g FMJ w/ Hodgdon Universal 4.3g Start, 4.8g Max

I tested 3.8g to 4.3g on Saturday for my 125g LRN bullet and decided on 4.2g of Universal.

Hope this helps.
