There is some good load data at the bottom of this link;
http://www.sixguns.com/range/supermags.htm
The last couple batches I've loaded seem to work great, for the plinking I do...300g Speer JSP with 29g IMR4227 & CCI350 primers. They would probably handle 30 or 31g of powder if I wanted to run them hotter, but I'm fine with this load.

Do other gun companies have load data for theirs? I don't think I've ever seen reloading data straight from DW. If I have, I'm sure forgetting about it this morning.
I've always understood load data to be something compiled by reloading sportsmen & reloading suppliers "tinkering" around with their stuff.

FA provides loading data with their guns, at least for the 83 in 500WE.

it is my understanding after hours of internet searching that it one time on the old dw site there was load data posted for the .445 i have found a few old posts where the data was referenced.
to be honest this would make sense as the people buying them were likely reloaders and dw was the largest supplier of 445's to the silhouette croud.
i'm not against using other verifiable data just really curious as to what dw recommended be run thru them
