I am guessing books?
I am trying to find data for .223 using FC and LC brass with CCI 400 primers and H335 and or Varget powder for a Hornady 55g FMJBT Will be shooting out of a mid length 16" RRA This is my first time reloading so go easy on me 
for some reason i had it in my mind being in the computer age and everything that their would be ample amounts of data out there on the interwebs but i haven't found it yet

For first time reloading, "ABC's of Reloading" is a good place to start.
Lyman 49th edition manual has a lot of good info too, and good general load data. If you are shooting Hornady bullets, you should cross reference the Lyman manual with the Hornady manual. I also check with the Sierra load data. If nothing else, you can check the bullet manuals against the powder company manuals. Hogden's website has links to Hogden and IMR powders, with recommended charges. A lot of big box stores have these small, printed manuals with almost all pulished load data for that caliber. If you get the one for .223 it will have a ton of raw data for different brands of bullets. All the companies test their bullets in barrels with different lengths, twist rate, and chambers. All the data they give is based on that, so you won't have a "one-stop-shop" for load data. They will give you a safe range to start experimenting. Good Luck. |

Do you have any manuals? Manuals have load data, but more important they have all the information you need to be a Safe handloader . I strongly suggest you purchase a manual or three and read them before you even think about looking for load data and building ammo. After you have read them, read them again. |

I had looked at this site, but it dident list FMJ's for 55 grain. Im about to go to the store and pick up a few books to read before i start making loads. I wanted to try and work up a few tonight to take to the lease with me this weekend and test, probably wont get to shoot for a few weeks after this weekend, but to be safe im going to some reading and take my time. |

The data for 55g SPR SP is a good starting point. Make sure to work up your loads... |
