I am going to start reloading for 9mm for a Charles Daly hi-power. I'll be using W231 (not the best for this, but it's what I have to start with since I use it a lot for .38 spl). The manuals give COAL of 1.075 up to 1.125 and charge weights of 4.1 to 5.2 grains, depending on the source.
Does anyone have experience of what COAL works best in these guns and if there is a lower threshold I should be aware of with this powder to get reliable cycling?
I don't get to the range often and would like to minimize experimentation for reliability and avoid having a lot of various loads to try, so a starting point would be very appreciated.
This might not matter much, but this is my first time reloading for a semi-auto.
