I purchased 100 of the Cast Performance 187 grain WFNGC bullets. I plan to use either 2400 or Lil'gun to load these. Does anybody have any information on powder charges for either of these powders? Thanks.

You should have gotten a sheet of paper with recommended load data in the box. Maybe they have stopped doing this. Anyway for the 187 gr. WFNGC the only data from Cast Performance is:

AA9 = 10.1 gr. min. 11.2 gr. max
H110 = 12.5 gr. min. 13.5 gr. max

You should contact Cast Performance and verify that load data before using it.

Note: Hodgdon's reloading site doesn't show data above 180grns with a Nosler Partition but at that level it shows a max of 13.5 grns of H110 (same as the max with Cast Performance's 187grn WFNGC) and a max of 15.0 grns of Lil'Gun. So you can use your own judgment as to what you might consider for your Cast Performance 187grn loads.

In any event, start low and work up your loads as your gun / bullet combination may produce different results.

You reload cartridges by bullet WEIGHT not brand or type so you could use data for 190-200 gr bullets for that caliber.

For all those who wish to use an online software program goto the POWLEY calculator... http://kwk.us/powley.html ...the interior ballistics program is also found on many reloading forums. With it you can calculate just about any load combination you want or develop new ones.

Email Cast Perf...they probably will have the info you want...I LIKE their bullets.

Steves pages might have some data also or just search the web for load data for 190-200 gr bullets for 375 Mag.

Start low and work up slow... words to live by.

Luck

Personally, I would go with Lil' Gun. I use the Hodgdon load of 15.0 grs. which is shown with a 180 gr. bullet under the 187 gr. LBT bullet. It works well. As with any data back of 10% to start.
