    I'd imagine around 42-44gr of 2209 would be a very safe beet to start load development.
    Greetings,
    I think I would start a bit lower than that. 42 grains of AR2209 is Hodgdon book max for the 140 grain and there have been some variations in speed with AR2209 I would start at 40 grains and chronograph to confirm your powder speed. I am a cautious old Fudd though.
