Any load data for new 275 gr Barnes DPX bullet?
« on: December 18, 2007, 06:30:23 AM »

I see both Federal and Corbon are now offering 480 Ruger ammunition with the 275 gr Barnes DPX bullets.  Federal quotes 1350 fps, but Corbon quotes 1550 fps.  I looked on the Hodgdon site and they have no loads listed for 275gr DPX or Gold Dot bullets.  From what I have read, the solid copper bullets do not have the same pressure response that jacketed bullets have.  I imagine I could purchase a new Barnes reloading manual and they will have loads for it. 

Have any of you seen loads for this combination anywhere else? 

Have any of you tried this combo out?
Success is a journey, not a destination...  Might as well enjoy the ride!! 

Just remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.  You can rely on 911 or on 1911. The choice is yours.
