Load data for 147g berry's and CFE pistol powder

[Bpfd17]

Hi everyone, I picked up some CFE and some berry's 147g rn and can't find any load data in the books I have. Any help is appreciated. I also have some Power pistol and bullseye powders as well, of the 3 which is best? Will be shooting with a Sig 226 and Sig 938 if that matters.

This website has data for that combo http://www.hodgdonreloading.com

I saw that but wasn't sure if the one load data for the 147g hornandy XTP would work for the Berry's plated bullet.

The plated bullet may pick up a few FPS over the harder jacketed XTP, but if you load to the minimum for jacketed you’ll still be well within the safe range for a plated bullet.

Thank you
