    Hornady 125gr ETX

    Anyone tried this projectile or know where to find data for it ?

    If I start using it, it will be inside 150 yd so no need to point out the short comings of monolithic projectiles thanks.

    go into your reloading manual and use 130grn data for cup n core ...and go from there or if really spooked go with slightly heavier still data,that way you will be definetly in the safe zone....
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    You could maybe use the hornady 125 gmx load data, what calibre rifle are you using and what powder?

    308.
    2206h or BM2

    I want to be a bit careful about substituting data from other projectiles since this one is solid copper.

    Speer 130grn data gives you wiggle room for it being a mono
