This weekend I loaded some 10mm with hornady 180g hp-xtp bullets and Accurate #9, according to Hornady 7th edition, should be able to go up to 14.4 gr. OAL 1.260. After I loaded them I checked Quickload, (I know I should have checked first). Quickload shows this as a 125.8% fill and a max pressure of over 90,000 psi. I don't think this is correct, it might have been at most slightly compressed but I don't think 125%. Lee second edition list max at 14.5g (compressed) and OAL 1.250. I hate to pull the bullets but I'm not sure I want to fire them.
Quickload has been a great reference and has saved me time/money in the past but one of these references is way off, or I'm overlooking something major.
Is Quickload wrong or am I doing something wrong?
Fire them cautiously? or dump'em?
