Need help with 175 grain loads

[egraham]

I have some 175 grain bullets I am going to use to fire form some brass. Does anybody have any load data for 175 gr and Reloader 7 or Lil Gun?

Thanks so much for your help.

for little gun try 8.0gr and for RL-7 try 10gr. Those should be good starts with 16" barrel.

Check here on Reloaders nest, I posted several loads with 180g bullets and LilGun and R7

Those loads you posted are all way higher than the one you reccomended in this thread?

I just have 20. Speed and accuracy are of no concern.

Are you referring to the loads that dksd39 posted??

If you are just looking to fire form brass I would use the lightest loads for either LilGun or R7:

12.5grs LilGun ~1570 fps

14.2grs Re7 ~1450 fps

I hope this helps

320pf- just curious, why do you recommend fire forming with super-sonic loads? Does it do a better job than a lite sub-sonic load?
