I can't seem to find load data specifically for these montana gold bullets. Anyone have a source? Nine of the manuals I have list them. Please help! Thanks in advance!

  I meant 'none' of my manuals.

  Zero of mine, either.
  I think you are going to have to muster up your courage and load them like any other generic 55 grain .224" bullet.

  Go with the standard starting load and work up. Then let us know how it went so the rest of us don't have to do it.

  Their website doesn't describe the bullets very well, but it implies that the 55-gr FMJ bullets are standard cup/core of gilding metal and lead. If so, you can probably use generic load data for that style bullet. Do start low, as always.
  
  One caution: mic the bullets for diameter. I have seen some "bargain" bullets that were as much as .226" and they tended to raise pressures significantly.
