I bought some 110gr Hornady JHP XTP bullets from midwayusa the other week and decided to load up a dozen using the H110 I bought a few months ago. There was some varying load data from different sources, and what I finally loaded up was 21gr of H110. I took them to the range today and O..M..G!!! People around me put their guns down to see what canon I was shooting and the clerks behind the glass both were looking in my direction after the first shot. The fireball in front of me totally covered my FOV of the target 15yrds away. I was shooting out of my S&W 686-5 6" revolver, so I know it can handle the load, but I believe it to be quite a bit much for starting load like given in the manual and the Hodgdon site. Anyone with any experience with said bullet and powder care to share their insight on what would be a better starting point? I also bought some 125gr XTP and 158gr XTP's, so if anyone has loaded either/all of those, I'd appreciate some tips.
Thanx.
