I'm fairly new to reloading, and just bought some Berry's plated 155 gr flat point (FP) bullets for my 40 S&W, but can't find any data to load them with Accurate No. 5.
I do, however, see data for Berry's plated 155 gr round nose hollow point (HBRN), and another FP plated bullet, and they are very close to each other for their minimum loads (7.0 vs. 6.9 gr.). I'd think that I'd be alright starting a load at 6.9 gr, but wanted to get the opinion of some that are more experienced than me.
I copied and pasted the data I found from Accurate's web page, and bolded the two specific loads I was looking at below.
