I recently bought some 158 grain round nose Berry's bullets. I plan on using Unique powder, CCI 500 primers. I plan on using the ammo as standard plinker rounds.

Anyone have any tested data re how much powder to use and C.O.A.L?

I've been to Unique's website, and Berry's...without much luck. I know Berry's says to use the same data as lead cast bullets, but I don't see where my Lyman's and Hornady books list 158 grain round nose...which, I think is kind of odd.

So I'm asking for some load data that you've actually used.

Thanks in advance.
