A .240 Cobra is a necked up .220 Swift
If you start with .220 Swift loads you should be alright to start. This is correct in most instances of simply necking up a cartridge to a larger bore size. The Cobra is in the performance neighborhood of a 6x250.

"Wildcat Cartridges vol2 " Wolfe Publishing has a few articles on 240 Cobra.
Quickload http://www.neconos.com/details3.htm will give you a starting point for load data.

easy ?
as with any caliber, you cant go wrong with starting at 90% case capacity and go from there.

Oh, yes, you certainly can go wrong!!!!!!!!!
Beware, any who read this: If you follow this "Rule of thumb" with a powder that is even moderately too fast for the cartridge, you WILL create dangerous or even catastrophic pressure levels!
