Welcome to GBO!! Several manuals have spitzer bullet data in their TC handgun loads, Hornady 6th, Lyman 48th, Nosler 5th and the $7-at-Walmart Hodgdon Annual to list some. ;)

 Use caution as you are limited to a rather short cartrige overall length with the Savage 340. Not a problem with RN bullets but it makes the use of any spitzers somewhat more tricky.

I have had good success loading of a buddy Savage using the 130 spire point from Remington..bought them in bulk from Midway to use in my .300 Whisper..
