Default True Flight 155gr SWC

So I found 1000 of these at a yard sale, I can't find load data for these. So I assume that 158 data would apply ?

I see that design a lot lately, even coated.

It depends if the dia. is .355 up to .360 for the data to be used
since it might be used in a 9mm or even a 38 special or magnum.

Good hunting.

Looks like a 9mm bullet to me. I would mic it! No sharp shoulder like a standard SWC.

Using the next heavier bullet weight data is the safe way to go.DON'T USE the next bullet lighter weight data;that's flirting with dangerous pressures.Play it safe.
