Does anyone have any reloading data or can point me in the right direction for this new Hornady offering?

Don't know how much response you'll get. I got a box of them and played with them in 2 308's and a 30-06. They seem to seat harder in the casings and my caliper thinks they are ever so slightly thicker than cup and core bullets. And they have alot of shank. When I ran them in my bolt action they pumped out about 130 fps more speed than a "like" load for 150 cup and cores. Long story short I would recomend that you start at least 3 grains under your fav 150 grain load and work with a chrono.
Lastly....they didn't shoot very good in 2 of the guns which normally shoot many bullets well. They did shoot good in my little 308 browning bar.

Thanks Kraky, I think a call to Hornady maybe in order since they just came out with this bullet.
