I am going to be working up a subsonic load this afternoon with some 140gr SMK's and CFE Black. I am looking to get my hands on some "Load Development" Charts. Are these charts a software application? I'll post a pic of what I am talking about, but they are the charts with the grains on one side of the chart, and the FPS on another side.
 
These charts are made in excel, based off users chronograph data when they load. With anything reloading, these vary greatly based on barrel/gun/lot number of powder/etc - so what is posted isn't a guaranteed 1 for 1 with what you will experience.

Check the reloading forum for a thread with the caliber you want to load. It's possible someone has posted their data, or you can ask if anyone has tried it or something similar.

I am looking for a template for the blank sheets. I want to work up my own loads. Thank you for the reply👍
 
Either excel, or google sheets - one column for charge weights, column next to that input your shot velocities. Taken together you've got a coordinate point, and you should be able to make a line chart from those.
