I've looked and looked online. Does anyone have any load data for 125 grain lead or plated using Winchester WST powder? Surely someone has an older manual with something. All I've found is some 158 grain data (that I can't seem to cross check) and of course I can find that it's a great powder for that caliber.



But no actual data! :explode:

You aren't going to find much actual plated bullet data. I use lead data and then go to the chrono for fine tuning.
