Welcome Aboard Ed!
I have some but ran out of comfortable range weather this past year, before I could work up a load. QuickLoad doesn't have anything like that bullet in its database, so the best one could do is use a starting load for a 250gr all copper bullet. Given they are brass, which while harder, is more slippery than copper, I'd drop a grain or two and go up from there. Maybe drop one degree of slower running powder as well. Certainly not beginner 450b reloading fodder. Its a bullet with more variables than I'm used to loading, so it'll probably take the entire box to
safely figure out a sweet spot. Then again, maybe not. I will be doing the workup, come spring time in Minnesota. IE later than spring time most other places.
