    I found about 1000 of these in my dad’s stuff. Any reloading data or comments appreciated.

    In one of the photos from left to right, the bullet in question, Nosler 175gr RDF 30 cal, and the SMK 175gr 30 cal. in comparison.

    That has to be from the 70's or maybe even the late 60s....

    Find a similar bullet weight and design and drop a few % in powder. You should be good to go. Also, see if you can find some old Lyman reloading manuals, they had listings for various bullet manufacturers. I might have something from the early 80's I could check, have to find it first though :)
