Hi Guys,
After finding some CCI #500 Small Pistol Primers in stock tonight I'd like to have someone double check my thinking here:
I plan on using the following:
Starline Brass
CCI #500 SPP's
HS-6
Hornady 9mm 124gr FMJ RN Bullets (http://www.hornady.com/store/9mm-.355-124-GR-FMJ-RN/)
Lyman's 50th Reloading Manual does not contain a FMJ RN in 124gr, neither does Hodgdon's Website. However, Lyman's and Hodgdon's 9 Reloading Manual agree on the OAL for the 124gr XTP Jacketed HP of 1.060". Looking at Hornady's 9th Reloading Manual I see the OAL they recommend for the 124gr FMJ RN bullet I'd like to use as 1.150".
Would it be safe to use Lyman's data (which includes the CCI #500 SPP's and HS-6 combo) and then apply the OAL from Hornady's manual?
I'm mainly concerned about safety and want to ensure this won't be a compressed load or something else that could foul me up... managed to keep all my digits and extremities from my previous life and don't want to loose them now...
