    Anyone ever load .50 AE 300 GR XTP?

    Hey guys, I ordered some Hornady 300 Grain XTP bullets for my .50AE for reloading, but it doesn't look like there's any loading data in my Modern Reloading Second Edition book for this specific bullet. Does anyone know where I can find some loading data for this bullet? Thanks.

    I looked in my Lyman's and haven't found it either, surely Hornady has reloading data sheets for it somewhere

    Thanks for checking your Lyman book for me. The reason why I'm trying to find specific load data is because of this tidbit of information I found in my copy of Modern Reloading Second Edition Richard Lee, "XTP; Use these loads for the Hornady XTP, Speer Gold Dot or Remington Golden Saber bullets. Their large hollow point uses up case capacity and requires a lighter charge in many cases." I'm worried about overcharging the loads if I follow the load data for 300 Grain Jacketed Bullets. Unfortunately my load data only covers 300 Grain Jacketed Bullets, and 325 Grain Jacketed Bullets for the .50AE. Many of the other calibers in my book have separate load data for XTP Ammunition.
