Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and reloading and for this reason I'm very cautious when loading. I tend to go with a mid range load but with this bullet I'm stumped. I found some 9mm hornady xtp 90gr and my books seem to be all over the place. My three books state the following info. for win 231.
Start. Max
Lyman 49th 4.0@1156fps - 5.2@1411fps
Hogdon 2013 5.5@1312fps - 5.8@1349fps
Hornady 9th 4.7@1150fps - 5.6@1300fps
I have other powders I can use but this was the only one I could reference in all three books. I thought with these xtp's I might go toward the higher end but with this data I don't know. The hornady book naturally says xtp, the lyman says JHP and hodgon is SPR GDHP I would think these are all similar enough, right? Has anyone used these bullets or have any suggestions and is it common to have widespread data like this?
Thanks.
