I'd just use the Sierra info for the 69gr SMK... they are close enough....

That's what I was going to try next time I hit the range.

see this kind of thing come up here all the time. FOlks don' tseem to realize you can use the load data for a like weight of bullet in another brand of form factor. The load data is about mass and velocity, little else. The only other consideration is whether it's copper or lead contacting the rifling.
So if you can't find load data for a very specific bullet, use the data for a similar bullet type and weight and get busy.

I have had very good results from 24.5grs of RL15. I am using Federal primers and Remington brass...Sub MOA all day..
