I gave some 200gr RNFP lead bullets I want to use up for target/plinking and only see recipe's for 240gr. Would be using 700x or RedDot powder. Any thoughts on powder charge or places to look?
 
caliber might help. am using 200 lrnfp for 44 special, 45 acp, 45 LC and 45 ar. guessing you're referring to 44 mag?
 
from 1996 Alliant Reloader's Guide

Cowboy Action Load Data, 5 1/2 in barrel, 200 gn lrnfp
4.4 gns redot 645 fps
6.4 gns redot 886 fps

Pistol and Revolver Loads
using 200 gn jhp
9.7 gns red dot, 1,320 fps, 34,800 psi (max)

might also check Speer's 200 gn gdhp short barrel data

The lighter 200 lrnfp loads will likely have a noticeably lower poi than the 240 gn loads
 
I would give the 700x away. As I have found in testing with a calibrated high accuracy scale that it throws all over the place.

That said, there is a guy begging for it on here! Fhew! Got that off my chest.

I would target 1100-1200fps….at least there you will know you are shooting your 44 mag.

That red dot load might be great reduced to about 28000 psi might be nice!
