I bought some 135gr .40 gold dots from rocky mountain reloading. I got them in and started looking for load data and I cant find anything for alliant powder. I usually load .40 with power pistol. Does anyone have any load data for alliant powder?

I have found some data on hodgdons website but was hoping to find something with a little slower powder.

.40 cal. 140 gr. Gold Dot? My books show the smallest Gold Dot is 155 grs., could that be the one?

As for powder for a 135 gr. Sierra jacketed, HS6 works well for me. Published load is 7.2 - 9.5 grs. There is a Blue Dot load listed for a 135 gr Nosler jacketed also, 11.0 gr-12.0 gr. that's a pretty slow burner as well.

Unique - 5.8 - 6.8.
Power Pistol - 7.3 - 8.2.
Blue Dot - 9.0 - 10.3.

And then there is Alliant data:
