Western Powder has load data for 180 gr lead for their Accurate and Ramshot powders. The people who I buy coated bullets from (SNS) tell me to use lead data for their coated bullets which are sized to .401 as are your Acme bullets. The red coating is really slick which helps make seating easier. If you will be buying powder try Accurate #7 which loads consistent ammo from mild to
wild.

For a new reloader, I suggest using lead load data for PCed/coated bullets. K.I.S.S.

It a 108 or a 180? Makes a difference. Who made the thing doesn't matter though. Load for the weight and cast or jacketed(plated is not jacketed. They use cast data.) What ever it is.

Welcome to the forum!

I too suggest Western/Accurate. I was pleasantly surprised to find the best, most complete load data for plated bullets in their load data. Would assume the same holds true for cast.
