I got some 180 gr XTP Bullets free from Hornady can anyone recommend a good load using either 800x or Blue dot powder?

First, welcome to the forum! Second, do you own a reloading manual?

Thanks and yes i do own a loading manual,but if someone has already worked up loads they are happy with it might save me some time, and i doo realize that what works good for someone else might not work good for me,im just curious about other's preferred loads,thank's for your quick response.

Most of us here go by the book. But we do use different components. I use AA powders for almost all of my reloads, but for the .44 mag I use Win 296. AA#9 will work, but the Win 296 gives higher bullet speeds.

Powder Burner, welcome to TFF. I went to the Alliant website and found Blue Dot recipes. However it does not give load data for the bullet you are inquiring about. Your bullet is a great round. I do not use Blue Dot so I won't throw any advice out. Hopefully somone here has and has worked up a load with it. http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/Powder.aspx?powderid=10

Happy hunting,
