Do any of you have any suggestions on moderate but firm loads for these bullets.

I have been loading 21.5 grains of H110 behind 210 grain Hornadys but would like to settle on a load with lead bullets for general shooting.


I looked up Missouri Bullets and found a 215 gr Keith. Specs were Brinnel 18, so its a magnum capable hard cast. I have been shooting 18 - 20 Brinnel hard casts in my 41 Blackhawk for about 15 years now.
Use your load for the 210 XTP, back it down for comfort, or shoot it just the way you do the XTPs. The hardness of these wont lead up the barrel even at full mag velocitys, Well I should say under 1400 FPS, after that put gas checks on them for best results.
