Does anybody know any good loads for a 140 Nosler Ballistic Tip using RL-22. I can't find any info in the book for it. Thanks.
 
You can use data for another brand of like wgt as a starting point for another bullet. I`d find the recommended load on the Alliant site (given in the above post) for your 140 gr bullet and start there. If you have other sources of data for this bullet wgt use them also in determing a starting point. You will as always have to work up and watch for problems. The max listed there as always may or may not be right for your rifle.
