Post by: wildmanoutdoors on March 16, 2010, 07:56:48 AM

Got a box of XTP's in 180 grn .357. Anybody else shooting these? Looking for some load data and dont have the new Hornady book.

Looking for the highest velocity loads.

I’ve shot a few but I prefer the 158g.  Check your powder manufacturer’s web site.  They usually have load data listed.

I like shooting the 180s out of my 35 Whelen.  They are pretty accurate up to 1800fps or so out of the rifle.
