Looking for loading data. Wanting to shoot a heavier bullet so it will stabilize at long range. Cant find any data for a starting point. Any recipes or suggestions.

Thanks
 
I have a .220 Swift with 1:8" twist , shooting 80 gr. A-Max bullets .
I contacted Hornady for load information , and they sent info for a .22-250 using different bullet weights and powders . They stated that I should use the maximum loading for the .22-250 as a starting point for load development for the .220 Swift , due to the larger case volume of the .220 Swift .
