The new Alliant data, which you can download from Alliant' web site, does not list any 200 gr bullet data.

Their old data lists 6.3 grains as max with PP, and by going 10% lower you get the starting load.

I list PP in my notes as "abusive" as it approaches max, and accuracy deteriorated. I would suggest you start low (5.5-ish)and go up in 0.3 grain increments. I did not go near max, and suggest the same to you.

I got excellent results with Hodgdon Longshot, but use VV N105 with 200gr XTP @ 10750fps as carry load (and that is below listed max)
