Rainier Ballistics Reloading Data

Thank you for the credit! I just managed to find this data and have seen so
many questions on other forums about loading Rainier Plated bullets and all the answer seen to be " just load them as lead bullets". Well since I had the information it was just the right thing to do SHARE the information.
Merry Christmas

Also welcome to the forum. Tracy

I'm in the process of getting ready to reload about 1000 rounds of 40 S&W for a friend of our youngest son. He bought 1000 Raineir Ballistics 165 grain jacketed flat nose bullets which I cannot find any reloading information for! I'll be loading them with Winchester 231 powder.

Can someone tell me (email me at [email protected] ) the band width of the powder and what the COAL (loaded round case over all length) should be?

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

i just ordered myself the Rainier 9mm 115gr Plated Hollow point but don't see the load for PHP just the RN. Im using IMR 700x powder, anyone got data for this mix?

Welcome to the forum.

Hmm From what i've found else where, the min. is 3.3 and max is 4.6, does this possibly sound right to anyone?

And thank you, this is my first Real gun Forum and I'm Enjoying it!

That's what is nice about my Lee Modern Reloading II manual. It actually has recipes for copper plated bullets in a lot of calibers.
