Sensop,

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I have several manuals, including a dedicated Contender manual. None of these have reloading info for the 375 in the Contender. Most manuals have rifle data for the 225 gr FP. My Lyman manual also lists other weights, but always FP rifle data. I know from experience that good rifle data is not always good pistol data.

I would especially like data using some of the excellent pointed bullets that are available for the 375. I know that these bullets are most often constructed for use at higher velocities, but they would make good silhouette rounds.

Any help that you can give me would be appreciated.
