125gr LRN (coated) @ 1250ish FPS load data

[mikeg1005]

For 38 Super

I've got HS6, CFE Pistol, BE-86, SR 7625, and Universal on hand...

Looking for a load that is in the 1250ish fps range in a commander with a 125gr SNS coated round nose. Will be loaded to 1.250" OAL.

Anyone got a ballpark of where to start?

Hodgdon has data for a 125 Cast LCN. That would be a good place to start.

Universal will probably not get you there safely

CUP is to high to push it

Alliant has on-line BE-86 data for 124 JHP, but nothing for cast/coated.
