And you should also be getting a sheet from SSK if that's who you ordered it from.

What length is the barrel you are getting. I have a 14" and lots of load data. I will have to get it from home and post it. I have put some on a site you can view.

I have a 309JDJ,14" SSK barrel.It really likes 50gr of IMR4350 behind the Nosler 165gr BT.Shoots 3 shots  less than.5" @ 100yds.Remember,always reduce charge and work up.My load is not hot,cases fall right out, yours may be different.

I have a 14 inch stainless SSK 309JDJ and when I bought it JD told me to use 4350 and don't look back. Highest velocity & lowest pressures. I shoot the Nosler 165gr. BT and it will do 3/4 inch groups @ 100 yds.
 The load kenacp mentioned is a good one. Last fall I worked some up using N165 / Nosler 165 and they chronographed @ 2325 FPS. Groups were .600 inch.

I shoot the Nosler 150 Ballistic Tip for everything in Oklahoma.  I load 51 grns of IMR 4350 with Fed 210 primers and OAL of 3.135. This shoots 2354fps from my 14" barrel. This is warm so you should start at about 48 and try that. I have taken deer with the load from 50 yds to 260yds and they all have dropped or took a couple of steps and fallen.
This is a very flat shooting load and you can hold dead on from 50 to 250yd and get the accuracy for a whitetail.
You will really like the 309JDJ. Wish I had bought one sooner.
