Data for Rainier 230 gr. hp

[tbraddy]

Hi all, first time here. I have a question: I have loaded Rainier 230 gr. RN for my XD45 according to the Accurate data in my book. I just purchased 230 gr. HP bullets, and can't find a good COL or powder load. I am using AA #5 and CCI large pistol primers. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

just remember when you load rainier coated bullets you use that load data from the 230gr LEAD data

straight from the rainier site

Welcome to THR tbraddy

From Accurate data that used to be on Raniers website. (I printed a hard copy)

AA #5 & Raniers 230 Gr HP @ 1.245 O.A.L.

Start: 7.4 Grs for 757 FPS

Max: 8.2 Grs for 860 FPS @ 19,200 CUP

This load came from a data sheet of loads tested by Accurate and following this data has proven safe for me and my guns. Use at your own risk.

Thanks a lot for the info. I will be shooting this in a Para Tac-S (just got it today-ask me how sweet I had to talk to get it!) I could not find a COL for this bullet anywhere. Thanks again, will let you know how it turns out!!
