confused about what load data to use?

[joemama]

I got some Remington .40 cal 180 gr MC bullets that I'm gonna load up. Does anyone know what MC stands for? or if I can use load data for a different 180 gr bullet instead of the MC? I'm having a hard time finding load data for them. and I'm still new to this lol.

Just use 180 grain jacketed bullet data.

thanks for the input guys, they are jacketed all around but there is lead exposed on the the bottom. This is the part that always confuses me lol because I have no clue what all the abbreviations mean.

just guessing, but MC is probably not to be confused with TMJ (Total Metal Jacket), which would be completely encapsulated in a copper jacket. Perhaps it's Remington's nomenclature for the more generic FMJ (Full Metal Jacket), which generally leaves the lead core exposed at the base of the bullet.
