Green Dot loads for plated .40 S&W ?

[dgang]

Find myself with about 8# of Alliant green dot powder from trap shooting days. Since Alliant no longer recognizes Green Dot as a pistol powder I'm hoping somebody has some data for plated 155, 165, and 180gr. bullets in .40 S&W for use at the range. I have some idea from old Alliant manuals but they are for 150 gr. and 170gr. jacketed bullets, plus Alliant has changed their data for Bullseye and Red Dot, so I assume for G.D. also.They calling for more powder and quite a bit less velocity. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I use green dot in 40 with 180gr cast powder coated.
I only care about it cycling so have not checked speed.
My powder is from late 60's and weak so I had to go over book max just to get it to run.
I just started at bottom of an old manual and went up until they functioned.

Older Alliant data, MAX shown reduce 10% to start.
No plated data but in 9mm I find plated to fall at the high side of lead charges or middle of jacketed charges

I do the same. I'll use lead round nose data if I can't find data for any of the copper plated bullets I use. FMJ data will work as long as you stay close to the starting load and don't try to push them over the recommended FPS.
