I will shortly be reloading 9mm in my Lee turret. After doing some research it seems that you load plated bullets between lead and jacketed bullets.
I will be using Hp-38 and it lists these two datas:
115 GR. LRN Hodgdon HP-38 .356" 1.100" 4.3 1079 28,400 CUP 4.8 1135 32,000 CUP
115 GR. SPR GDHP Hodgdon HP-38 .355" 1.125" 4.7 1075 25,300 CUP 5.1 1167 28,100 CUP
As I understand it the SPR GDHP is a speer gold dot hollow point. Is this a jacketed round? After a little bit of research I think it may be.
Wold it be safe to start at 4.5 grains of HP-38 and bumping up .1 grain at a time to about 4.8? Then taking those rounds to the range and testing for over pressure?
