Hi All,
Need a little help with some 9mm and load data, I have been loading .40S&W for awhile and this is my first attempt at 9mm.
The question I have is I will be loading Rainer's 115gr RN, with HS-6 powder, Hodgon's site list 6.4gr to 6.9gr for LRN with a min COL of 1.100, and 6.7 to 7.0 for Spr. GDHP with a COL of 1.125.
What I am not sure on is, I would like to load these longer say from 1.35 to 1.50 as the same as the factory COL that I shoot and works well in my 9mm's. Should I still stay at the suggested starting load of 6.4gr and work up from there? The last thing I want is to load to light with a longer COL and end up with a squib load. I realize that the longer COL will reduce pressure and velocity, but I'm not sure how much. Thanks in advance for any help
