AA#9 for both.

The Lyman #47 printed in 1993 specifies Suggested starting load for 121gr RN (#2 alloy) #356242 Bullseye 3.2 @ 939fps and max load 4.2gr@ 1175fps C.O.L 1.065. I have Lyman 46 (1991) and 47 (1993) and neither specify a 125 gr lead round nose. They both have the 125 gr jacketed soft point with a maximum load of 4.8 gr of Bullseye @ 1142 fps.

Let your buddy shoot it, chrono it and go from there.
Re: What did you reload today?
I'm doing a bit of 9mm and 300 BO right now but I have to watch because if I spend too much time reloading in summer, I don't really shoot much. Therefore need to do more shooting and leave the reloading for cooler months.
Re: What did you reload today?
after a long dry spell put together 50 .45 ACP loads to test the Penn Bullets 152 gr SWC (actual weight 158). This batch using Accurate #2 with charges from 5.8 Gr to 6.6 Gr. Tomorrow 40 of the same bullet with CPE-Pistol 7.9 Gr. to 8.5 Gr. Also tested out the RCBS Chargemaster my son gave me for my birthday. Sweet machine! It would be a fine (but expensive) addition to for anyone doing load development or very precise rifle ammo. Just tried their Website have they disappeared?

Chargemasters ? Midway still has them for sale
Re: What did you reload today?
Just loaded some 5.56: 69gr BTHPs over 23.3gr of 8208 XBR in LC brass. I put a new barrel on my AR, its an Odin 16" SS 1:8 .233 Wylde, I was shooting 77gr BTHPs but not getting the accuracy I was expecting, so thought I'd try 69gr and see if the barrel liked these better.

I picked up a Chargemaster (I think) from a member here a while back. It looks like it's been replaced with some more expensive models.

The new ones are blue tooth with a phone app.
