30 Carbine w/ 2400

[Mr_Flintstone]

I have a bunch of Hornady 86 gr soft point .30 Mauser bullets (.308) that I usually load with IMR 4227. Hodgdon has load data for all their powders and this bullet, but I’m looking for data with Alliant 2400. I’ve checked the Alliant website, old Alliant manuals, Lyman, Hornady, Lee, MD Smith, Speer, and some others, but can’t find data for similar bullets. Does anyone know where I can find data for this load?

Not 86 grain bullets. But 100 grains. Maybe you can work with this info?

It's not an exact match, but maybe this old Hornady data for a 90 grain hp would provide a decent starting place.

I found load data for Lehigh 85 gr solid copper. https://www.lehighdefense.com/lehigh-defense-load-data-library Not exactly the same, but similar data to the 90 gr XTP above. 11.8-12.5 gr 2400.

The XTP data is going to be more appropriate. Solid copper bullets are longer for a given weight.
