I have a bunch of 30 grain Vmaxes.
I have searched for .223 loading data for this bullet (I know it's a small one) and have been unable to find any.
If anyone has a steer toward a location (either on or off the interneck is ok) where I might be able to find some suggestions for starting load development, I'd appreciate it.
Why 30 grainers? No particular reason. I have them on hand and thought I'd simply give it a try for fun and see what I can make happen in my slow twist 1:12 single shot.

Tammons,
Thank you very much. That gives me a much better idea of where to start.
Your searches turned up more than mine.
I certainly appreciate the time you took to check for an answer and respond.
Thanks again,
