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?

[320pf]

I usually do not worry about fire forming my brass before I shoot it. I just trim 223 brass and then run it through the resizing die load it up and shoot it. Fire formed brass can be loaded to slightly higher velocities than non fire from brass. But I do not shoot full max load much.

I mostly soot subsonic loads .
