Re: Reloading Class/Thread
Thanks, that looks like a base to start with. One caveat I've heard of is that some powders use less product and a double charged casing could go unnoticed as it wouldn't overflow. How do I know what powders fall into that category?

Re: Reloading Class/Thread
FWIW:
Here is a page from my Hornady 10th edition manual for 115gn 9mm
It list's several powders that they worked up using their test gun- S&W model 39 using a 4" barrel.
IMHO for 9mm "Power Pistol" shines and gives me the greatest published velocities. It also does well with 147gn bullets as well. YMMV

Re: Reloading Class/Thread
I’ve used hp-38 (identical to win 231), Titegroup, AA#5, SR4756, and Power Pistol for 9mm. I’d avoid Titegroup until you have a lot of reloading experience, since it has a narrow range and is easy to double charge. If you load for carbine, Power Pistol will give the highest velocity, as its slower burn rate better exploits longer barrels.

Re: Reloading Class/Thread
Great info so far, thanks a lot for it all!
Alright, moving right along here...I have these 115 FMJ's that I scored years ago and I'm on station 3 where I set the dept (OAL). I believe I am within range but still a little shallow, shallow is better than too deep but I do have the abilities to get it right to the .xxx if I want to. The question I have at this point is...are all 115 FMJ bullets the same OAL? Or Could I be driving them too deep if I go with the specs on this guide that I have for OAL?Gender confusion is a mental illness

Re: Reloading Class/Thread
These bullets are .556, is that a standard for 115 gr FMJ?

Re: Reloading Class/Thread
Nope, they're .555+- and the JHP's that I have are not far from it. My concern would be if they were too long and I pushed them in for the 1.1 OAL that it would cause excess pressure down below but based on being close to the others I should be good to go. Then next question up is where do I find what the crimp diameter should be? I haven't come across that one yet except in the Dillon instruction book.
