A little help from someone with a Hornady manual please

[Jeff H]

Way back when I got my L&L AP, I opted for the free 155 XTP bullets in 40 S&W. Just getting around to loading and none of my manuals mention this bullet specifically. Would anyone be kind enough to look it up for me so I don't have to spend $40 for the manual. I don't load any other Hornady bullets or I would just buy it for the investment.

Shooting HP-38 powder.

Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post in the open forum.

My Hornady #9 manual lists the 155 XTP. It does not list it with HP 38 powder.

I got my new Hornady manual in the mail last week! So my first real search is on page 910, 155 XTP with W231 (same as HP-38); 7.1 to 8.0....

Odd, the Hornady starting load is almost 20% above Hodgdon’s maximum load.....
