Looking for some load info for the 458 SOCOM. Does anyone publish load data for that cartridge? All the load manuals I can get my hands on don't list it. I'm planning on loading 300 grain Barnes TTSX, preferably with H110 powder for a hunting load. Looking to get around 1800 FPS out of it
 
Correct. Just before the lobbyists twisted the government's arm into letting less detailed information pass muster in MSDS sheets, I got them that included both powders in question (2009 MSDS, IIRC) and under alternative names and designations, both were listed as WC296 (Western Cannon 296; WC is a brand name for spherical propellants made in the St. Mark's, Florida powder company plant).

Other equivalents from that old MSDS data are below along with some alternate names from other sources, like Thales:

Code: 
Powders from 2009 MSDS sheets (some newer MSDS sheets lack the powder name information due to
changes in MSDS requirement regulations).

Note that bulk grade versions have wider burn rate specs and can vary significantly from the
canister grades, which are controlled for burn rate by blending with held back fast or slow 
lots, as needed to adjust them to within ±3% of their nominal burn rates.

P.S., I noticed FrankenMauser's link doesn't work in Firefox but does work in Chrome and Edge and Opera. Probably a script blocker in action. I've noticed it locking me out of a lot more sites since the last upgrade.
