Question about encapsulated base bullets

[CapnVideo]

Just received my .40 S&W die set (just been doing 9mm up to now), and to get started, ordered some Remington bullets that Graf's had on sale. They are 180gr, FNEB, which Remington's site calls "Flat-nosed encapsulated base". They have exposed lead at the point, and the base is covered with copper, basically reversing what I'm used to. I have been having some trouble finding load data for this type bullet. My first inclination is to treat it like a JHP. Is this reasonable, or is there going to be a special consideration like there is for plated bullets?

Based on data found in my Lyman and Lee manuals, I was thinking of starting with 5.0 gr of WInchester WSF with a COL of 1.125 and working up in .1 gr increments.

What do you guys think? Anybody have any experience with these bullets they would like to share?

Just use the data for the weight of the bullet. But do work up accordingly.

Yeah that's what I figured, but I'm still pretty new to this and just wanted to be sure, especially since the pressures in .40 can rise pretty fast from what I read. Thanks.

Yes, with 40 S&W it is already running at really high pressures.And if you are not careful you can get into trouble with a Glock, especially and earlier model.
