How to reload for these bullets?

So I see that Hornady now makes these bullets. However, upon looking in the Hornady 7th Edition reloading manual, they do not list these bullets. So what would be the best way to find a load for these rounds? I've always just gone by the book in the past and only used what they had listed.

Hodgdons has one load for them in their online reloading database.

Haven't loaded the FTX in 30-30 yet but have used them in 45-70.

In 45-70 they require shorter brass to keep the OAL under max so they will cycle in the 1895 action.

Hornady has the FTX load data on their web site -

They will probably include the FTX in the next edition of their printed manual.

Load manuals are good for referencing, but online data at the manufacturing/distributors sites are the latest information and should be the go to information you consider first.
Hornady has data for the FTX line of bullets.

I load for 30-30 and 35 Rem using the FTX line of bullets.

Thanks guys. I'm glad I asked, as I had no idea you could find load data on Hornady's site. Thanks again for the help guys.
