Load data for 7.5 French?

Does anyone have any load data you can share for 7.5 French?

I plan on using a 30 cal bullet and 7.5 French brass.

Modern Reloading by Richard Lee has 2-1/2 pages of data for loads.

Be more specific about your load, bullet weight and powders you have on hand.

The french case capacity is a touch greater than the standard .308 case.
So you can start there and work up.

But there are almost endless online sources available.
Search and you will find.

I wouldn't just run .308 data. The 7.5 French runs at 55k psi. Although capacities are different, pressures play a big role in load data. Even more so than capacity.

Some of the early guns/ammo actually was even lower at 42,800 psi
