I agree H110 probably isn't the best choice for those bullets.Does any one have data for Rainier 44cal 240gr cooper plated
Missouri Bullet .452 250gr RNFP lead Ralph
Berry,s 38/357 158 fn lead
Thanks
He ask about plated and cast lead bullets.
i really think that is bad advise. using jacketed load data for lead bullets is plain wrong. it can get a reloader into trouble.
Are you really loading 17.0gr H110 under a 158gr lead bullet?

Max for a 158 grain lead bullet in the cast handbook is maybe 15.5 grains. I'm not at home to check the exact number. 17 grains is well beyond max for H110 with 158 grain cast lead.
Every maker of plated lead bullets warns not to use maximum jacketed charges. Which is what the starting load of H110/WW296 already is. (-3%) Plated lead is not the same as Linotype.using Lyman 3rd CBH
(which must be before H110 and W296 were the same powder as the data is wildly different)
the classic cast magnum bullet, 358156gc shows a max for h110 of 15.7 at 40,300cup
while the plain base round nose 358311 shows a max of 18.3 !! @ 40,100cup
Both cast in linotype at the same oal
(it shows a min of 13.0 while 296 shows only a max, no min at all with the Win warning to not download 296... ergo, prior to them being the same powder)
this is obviously outdated info as current Hodgdon shows a max of 16.7 for 158g XTP jacketed and no H110/W296 data for 158g lead swc at all
So, I guess it depends on how old your bottle of H110 is.....
Good post, I couldn't agree more...Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition
358477 150gr 17gr max
358156 155gr 15.7 max
358665 158gr 15.9 max
358311 160gr 16.5 max
As the weight goes up the loads go down from there. If you post loads beyond maximum published data at least say so. To many people use the forums as their sole source of data. You should also never use jacketed/cast interchangeably. Start at the minimums and work up from there.
Please explain to me how a 155gr bullet could use a max charge of 15.7gr and the heavier 158gr bullet jump up to 18.3gr? That's not possible, there's something wrong with that data...155 Lead 15.7
158 Lead 18.3
