Thanks. I understand your point perfectly. 900+ fps is potentially too fast for a HBWC based on my research but I haven't worked with this type of bullet before. However, the Hodgdon data specifies Hornady's lead HBWC as you can see in the attached file.
This may be an example of even "official" load data being unreliable.
Do you see any problem starting with 3.0 grains of Win 231, or should I start a bit lower? My concern with a really light load is the slow muzzle velocity with the 2" snubby.
