I've got a few hundred of these that have been taking up space I'd like to load up. There's not much load data I can find out there on tracers. Fast burning powders of course.

I did find some random posts on other forums and a few vids but anybody here work up a load with them?
Some examples I've found:
-21gr of N135
-20gr of Norma 200
-22.5gr of H335
24.5 gr of IMR 4166


These projectiles measure in at 61grain . I haven't found anything at that weight anyplace. Everything I see is 60 grain orange tip. Perhaps these were blems? Dunno.

Anybody out there mess around with tracers?

A grain or two is insignificant with regard to load data.

I'd be perfectly happy putting 24.4 gr H335 behind them, like I do other 62gr bullets I load.

Here's 5.66 data Iuse, from Hornady's site:

Thanks for the reply.

I've got enough H335 I can work up a load with.

They've still got a bunch at the LGS in Orting, Big J's, as of a week ago.

Been using it for years, for 55, 62, & even 75gr bullets. Been very happy with those loads
