I was gifted some 140 gr Hornady BTHP Match bullets. While there is no load data for that round, I wanted to safely test a load so looked for rounds about the same length.
Using the JBM Ballastics site, I found that the Hornady BTHP Match is 1.338, while the Swift Sciroco is 1.350. Looking in the Grendel Reloading Handbook Vol. 2, the Hornady is not listed but the Swift is.
Is it safe to use the Swift load data (of course starting low). For example on page 91: Varget load, 26-27 gr., loading to a COAL of 2.260. Thanks.
