Anyone with a Lymans 49th edition please HELP!!!!!!!!!!

[fullspeed1]

I have a huge favor to ask of someone on here. I am at work and I forgot to bring my Lymans 49th with me to research some powder loads for my .40cal 165 fmj loads. I am currently using w231 , but my supply is running low. I am happy with a minimun grain charge in the w231 but at the moment it is hard to find. I need a powder charge that is similar to it and am wondering is someone has a manual available if they can relay the info to me. As you can tell, I am obviously bored at work. It would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have the Lyman's manual but you can check online at www.hodgdons.com.

Go to "Data", then "Reloading Data Center", then "I Agree"', then "Cartridge loads", then select the "Load type" (Rifle or pistol) and "Cartridge"

Bruno Shooters Supply is not really great at keeping their stock status current. Grafs would have been a safer bet. Good luck.

If I read you correctly, the closest powder charge to 231 is Unique, with a min. charge of 5.4 gr.

If Brunos doesn't have stock and Grafs runs out of 231, Grafs has 8LB HP-38

Win. 231 and HP-38 are exactly the same powder. Any data you see for one you can safely use with the other.
