This is my current recipe : 9mm mixed head stamped brass, 115 gr RN plated bullet from RMR bullets, Hodgdon HP-38 powder using 4.9 per cartridge, and COL of 1.125.
Now my question is if you look in Lyman Reloading Handbook it doesn't really help at all. It only lists 115gr JHP, with nothing listed for HP-38.
Another book I have is The complete Reloading Manual for the 9mm Luger. The following is what is listed thre:
115gr FMJ bullet Dia: .355". Col: 1.169
WSF. 4.9gr start. 5.7 Max
_______________________________________________
115gr JHP bullet. Dia: .355". Col: 1.169
WSF. 5.2gr. Start. 5.7 Max
_______________________________________________
115gr. LRN bullet. Dia: .356. Col: 1.100"
HP-38. 4.3 Start. 4.8 Max
_______________________________________________
115gr SPR GDHP. Dia: .355". Col: 1.125"
HP-38. 4.7Start. 5.1 Max
Hodgdon website shows:
115gr SPR GDHP. Dia: .355". Col: 1.125"
HP-38. 4.7 Start. 5.1 Max
------------------------------------------------------
115gr LRN. Dia: 1.100"
HP-38. 4.3 Start. 4.8 Max
So my question is with data from all these different sources, since I am using a Copper plated round nose bullet, do I use recipes for the SPR GDHP, or always use the recipes for LRN?
