Source for 10mm lead load data

Well I also got the lyman cast bullet handbook today. It has MUCH more lead bullet data than the standard book. Looks like that's where i should have started. Again, thanks to all who responded.

Good for you; you're headed in the right direction. Many of today's "handloaders" seem to have an aversion to published load data. They miss out on a lot.
 
I have recently bought my first 10mm pistol, a Remington R1 hunter. I would like to cut cost by loading Missouri Bullet 180gr or 200gr HiTek coated bullets, but none of my reloading manuals (lyman 50th, hornady 8th, Hodgson 2015) have much data for lead in 10mm. Could anyone point out a book source for lead data? If anyone has a copy, I would like to know if the lyman cast bullet handbook covers 10mm well before I spend the cash on it.
Thanks in advance

evergladesammo.com sells plated 180 and 200 grain bullets with free shipping. Missouri Bullets charges $14.00 per 65 lbs for shipping so the Everglades bullets would be cheaper and you could use jacketed load data. And these plated bullets have a 1200 fps max recommended velocity.

This is astounding. I've been loading since the seventies, and I won't load w/o published data. I rely primarily on the powder makers' data, but I also have the new Lyman reloading manual, and the Lyman cast bullet reloading manual.

The next powder shortage may change your mind.
Reality though, most do NOT use published data 100% across the board. We change bullets, primers, rarely exact data. Once we understand that, we understand published data is a guide not a bible.

I will have to look into the Everglades plated bullets. I tried some rainiers in one of my 9mm and it kind of turned me away from plated bullets due to poor accuracy, but it may be best to give them another try
