This is the internet remember, you should consult manufacturers published data first. Good luck.Is it ok to use Hodgdon H335 to reload 9mm rounds?
Your manual link is not working for me???Or even study, not just read, a digital version of more than one reloading manual available to anyone savvy enough on how to use the internet to post here.
Like this spot for example.

Speer #12, Lyman 44th & 48th editions, Lee second edition (read t least one f the others first before the Lee manual), plus some non-brand specific books available in that directory.
No, these aren't the most recent editions but H335 isn't a new proplellant, and the fundamentals are still solid. And plenty of folks here that enjoy helping answer questions.
There are ways to expand beyond "all that was left on the shelf" as well. This thread's been ongoing since March 9, 2013 as one example. The last pages have the most recent posts.

Fixed it. There's a space that requires I use the hyperlink function to work properly. Using copy & paste the forum software interprets everything following the space as plain text.Your manual link is not working for me???
I was going to grab the lee manual as I own and read all the rest except bergerFixed it. There's a space that requires I use the hyperlink function to work properly. Using copy & paste the forum software interprets everything following the space as plain text.
It's not exactly "my" link FWIW. It appears to belong to an individual or business entity named marvin stuart.

The old cartridges have a ton of extra room. 357 45colt are two that come to mind. Both of those are lever and revolver so cycling is not a problem. I experiment within the book loads I can find, and I have enough different cartridges to keep me busy.You certainly could not get a load that would cycle a semi-auto action, but theoretically, one could probably make a useable load. Some of the old manuals...1960's old...showed some powders for .38 and .357 that were WAY too slow. IMR 4895 was listed as I recall. I'm sure ballistics would be erratic at best, but should be doable, if you favor 500fps or so from a 115 fmj. The safe answer is don't do it, but my scientific curiosity may get the best of me this weekend.
As others already posted, no.Is it ok to use Hodgdon H335 to reload 9mm rounds?
I know a guy who used to experiment with Mil-surp powders. Sometimes he would find something usable. Which might explain the 44mag round that he launched out of a lever action at the range one day - hit the ground running about 10 yards downrange and into the backstop at 25yds like an angry little bowling ball. It was quite funny at the time.You certainly could not get a load that would cycle a semi-auto action, but theoretically, one could probably make a useable load.
