HNDY and HDGN

[behoof]

Was looking for load data on the Hodgen online site for .223 and hoping to see H335 (or whichever powder) data for HNDY FMJ-BT 55gr but didn't see any data at all in the HNDY 55gr lines??

My Hornady Reloading Manuals all list good info so I'm not at a loss for load info but just wondered why Hodgen wouldn't list anything for this bullet?

Also wanted to say, "Hello" to all as I've really appreciated all the great insight I've gathered lurking for a very long time here. You folks are surely a wealth of information and patience. Very much appreciated and thanks in advance for letting me become a member of this community.

On what I'm up to with this current project: I picked up a large bunch of Hornady .223 55gr FMJ-BT and I wanted to use 500 or so of them as rounds for longer range practice rounds and was hoping to pick up more info on this combination and opinions on powder choices?

Anyway, Hi All and Thanks

Hodgdon, or any other supplier of reloading data simply cannot include every bullet for every caliber ever made by anyone.

They provide a slew of data using the 55 grain Speer SP.
And it applies just as well to the 55 grain FMJ Hornady.

Welcome to the forum!

They list other brands but as mentioned they can not test every bullet, you can use a similar brand bullet weight and profile. If you have the manual then no worries.
