Does anyone have load data for 9mm HP38 with 147gr Gold Dots? Will be used in a G34
Thanks
Thanks
I was about to give him the same advice until I checked the Hodgdon site. Hodgdon doesn't list HP-38/W231 for the 9mm using a 147gr bullet.If all else fails, look at Hodgdon's web site, or buy their reloading manual.
They make it.

...this thread is similar and has a discussion on the heavy bullet, fast powder preference in competition shooters.
Chris, not to answer for "rfwobbly" but I can give you the general answer to that question. All guns are different so all ammo will shoot differently in each. When I say "good for my gun" I'm saying even though it shoots well in my gun it may not shoot well in your gun. For example, I have 2 short barrel .357 Magnum revolvers. One just loves 145gr Winchester Silvertip .357 Magnum ammo. The other will produce twice the spread in a group with the same ammo. The same will hold true for handloads. Just because it's great with gun "X" doesn't guarantee it will shoot great from gun "Y". That even holds true with 2 of the same exact guns. (although it's less likely)rfwobbly,
Can you expand on the "good for your gun" statement please?

C'mon now, is that really necessary. You know very well what "rcmodel" meant!!No HODGDON DOES NOT MAKE HP38 or W231......General Dynamics makes it at their St Marks Powder operation in Florida. In fact Hodgdon makes no powder at all. But they sure package a lot of powder made by ADI in Austrialia, General Dynamics in Canada and FL.
