    Looked everywhere I could to find data, but I come up on the short end.
    Shooting from a Remington 700
    I'm looking to load some 150gr to subsonic or as close as I can.

    I have Unique, W296, IMR 4198, and Bullseye on hand.
    I am looking for some H110...........

    And another question, I ordered the Lee 230gr mold to try my hand at casting.
    Whats a good load for those?
    Going to tumble lube first, and powder coat later on.

    Thanks for any help.

    Sorry, can't help with recipes, but I noticed you said you have w296 and that you are looking for h110. These two powders are generally regarded as one in the same. I apologize if you already knew this, but it was something I had to learn early in my reloading career.
    Good luck in your quest! I'm sure someone will be along shortly to point you in the right direction.

    I did not know H110 was the same as W296. I did know H110 and WC820 were pretty much the same.
    I found some data using Unique 5.8gr with the plated bullets gives 1081 FPS OAL 2.00
    And 5.7gr gives 1041
    I'll have to test these, but sadly I only have a pound of Unique.

    The Lee boat tail 230gr boolit tumbles and shoots like a scattergun non-powedercoated. Skip just trying to tumble lube it. You will be disappointed. Powdercoated shoots half inch groups out of a 9" barrel @ 50yds though
