I got me a bag of these little buddies and was looking for some load data for them. Using the master sheet I only found 2 loads that met my parameters:

I want to use 7/8 oz in Remington Hulls (Got plenty of other things to stuff in Cheddites and Federals). I am using Remington since they are black to color code for my 7/8 oz and 1 oz lead loads.

I want the FPS to be at least 1220 and not more than 1275.

Those 2 known loads are both PB powder which I have 2 pounds. I understand it's going away meaning I will need to be ready for a replacement. Any ideas or books I might check into?

I just got off the phone with Hodgdon. As they rebadged PB I thought maybe they had reconsidered and were going to keep making it. Nope, it's being discontinued:(
