Hello everyone, I'm getting ready to load some 40 S&W and 9mm with Berry's plated bullets and Titegroup / Unique, I've checked online and both Speer and Lyman manuals.
These are the loads I'm considering:
9mm 115 gr. RN 1.135 OAL
Titegroup: 4.0 grains
Unique: 5.2 grains
40 S&W 165 gr. RN 1.13 OAL
Titegroup: 5.0 grains
Unique: 6.5 grains
I'm looking for a nice midrange load for range use. The interesting thing is Lyman specifies a lot lower start and max charge than Speer. Both Speer and Steves pages put me between start and max loads but I wanted to see if anyone had similar loads.
