Default Wing Loadings (was SR22 discussion)

SR22 max gross 3400 lbs wing loading 23.5 lb/sqft
PA32-300 max gross 3400 lbs wing loading 19.5 lb/sqft
Bo G33 max gross 3300 lbs wing loading (not found*)
C182R max gross 3100 lbs wing loading 17.8 lb/sqft
PA32-236 max gross 3000 lbs wing loading 17.6 lb/sqft

* neither the G33 POH nor the FAA TCDS contain the wing area nor wing
loading information. If anyone has the information, please add it.

I tried to use the comparable weight aircraft and performance.
As is evident, as a four seater, the SR22 is a "pig".
Although a retract, the G33 Bonanza is a good comparison given its
cruise speed and max gross. It's lower wing loading gives it better
landing preformance.
Useful load may offer a different perspective, but that can vary widely
by individual aircraft, so is not a valid comparison item.
Can anyone provide the gross weight and wing loading for a new Mooney?
