Well, I got my response from Speer. No help there...

I went ahead and loaded up a few different loads to test. If any of them look promising when I get the chance to test them, I will share them here.

I am trying to find load data for your 125gr TNT 30 cal in 300AAC Blackout.

1) Does the current version of the Speer Reloading Manual have data for 300BLK? .............. We have no load data for this round.

2) Can I use the same data as your 130gr HPBT as a starting point? ...........Never use load data from a different round to load a new round.

3) What OAL is appropriate for an AR-15 in 300 BLK? ..........The SAAMI spec. COAL is 2.260"

Note that this OAL is significantly longer than people are suggesting for this bullet.

I recently found some Speer "Hot Cor" HCSP 150gr bullets at a decent price and wanted to see if you guys would recommend using these with H110
We are surrounded....this simplifies our problem.

Wanting to see if anyone recommends loading 150 gr. Speer "Hot Cor" HCSP with H110 as a target load. Bought several hundred rounds at a decent price and want to put them to use. I don't see much load data on 150 gr. bullets so I'm assuming starting at the bottom and working my way up?

Excellent money saving idea. And for us traveling full time, books are hardly welcome. That weight and space needs to be something you cannot just look up on the web.

This data is for the Nosler 125 BT bullet. The Speer TNT is a flat base and does not use as much case capacity. In my rifle I begin showing pressure signs right at 19gr. with a Speer TNT 125.

I wish they would create e-books already for this stuff. Oh well. I could always pay one of my more detail oriented child/teenage relatives to just OCR scan my manuals hahahaha.
