I and a friend loaded our first rounds the other day. Using a recipe from a reloading manual that gave a starting load of 4.5 grains, I followed the often repeated advice to download 10% and work up. In hindsight, the starting load probably shouldn't have been downloaded.
The specifics of the resulting (9mm Luger) load are:
3.5 gr of Bullseye
115gr Plated bullet
I've been reading a good bit on lighter than recommended loads and the only danger I can find reference to is that of detonation, a phenomenon that a fair number of people seem to dispute even the existence of....
So, my question is, should I pull these rounds down and reload to the suggesting starting load of 4.9, or are these rounds safe to shoot?
