240 Gr Nosler JHP .44 Mag load data needed

[kennicka]

Hi,
I have some 240 Gr Nosler JHP bullets I bought to reload and would like to see what the Nosler book recommends for Blue Dot. Can I use the same data from a Hornady manual for a 240 gr JHP Hornady bullet? I have the hornady, Speer, Hodgdon, and several other manuals but like to see what the company who made the bullets has to say. Looks like for standard loading the OAL should be no more than 1.600, right?

Thanks. Tony

case--Win
primer--Win WLP
8.25" barrel
Nosler 4th Manual
no overall length given ---Nosler 240gr. HP and Soft Point
Blue Dot Powder start 14.0-1310fps--14.5-1350--maximum 15.0-1390fps
manual says 14.0 is most accurate load they tested
I'd load them to standard 1.600" overall length.

Thanks for the data. That is exactly what I was looking for.
