I just got a Lee Breechlock Challenger press with dies for reloading 9mm. Popping out the old primers, cleaning the pockets, and repriming were easy enough. Then I went out to get powder and bullets.
I bought some Hodgdon's Titegroup and a box of Hornady 115gr 9mm XTP's. Got home and noticed the recipe for 115gr 9mm on my Lee chart doesn't mention the Titegroup powder with this particular Hornady bullet. Instead it indicates some other powder.
The Titegroup bottle itself says 4.8gr for 9mm 115gr Speer Gold Dot hollowpoints. Doesn't mention Hornady bullets.
So, am I correct in thinking I can't use this particular powder with the XTP bullets? I am hesitant to load the cases with the powder charge listed beside 9mm 115gr JHP's on the Lee chart.
I know there are different charges for different bullet weights and calibers, but does each bullet brand have to have a particular charge from a particular powder?
Not sure what to do to move ahead with reloading. Any advice would be appreciated.
