This is aggravating me to no end. I have been searching high and low for load data using a 325 gr cast lead gascheck bullet for the .480 ruger. i am just about ready to use jacketed bullet data and work up a load like normal but would just like to find some specific data.... if anyone knows of any, please oh please enlighten me.... Im using Boolits cast from the Lee 325 gr bullet mold.

I am having a similar problem finding data for speer gdhp 275 grain with H110 powder

I got sick of searching so i did a few quick math calculations and derived a starting load from data using a 355 gr lead bullet. Case capacity is damn near identical when seated, the only difference is the nose profile of the 2 bullets. I hit a very accurate load with 26.0 gr of lil gun. shoots an inch at 50 yds. and bullet speed is 1550 avg. excellent expansion in a 55 gal. barrel of water and will penetrate through the first barrel and stop in the second. Now I just need to kill a feral pig to feel a sense of accomplishment
