Hi All
So I finished loading some ammo the other night and was getting ready to switch calibers. I was going to 9mm so I looked up the starting load in my Speer manual. Ok 4.0 of Win 231 to start with a 124grn TMJ, 4.5grn max. So I figure I will start at 4.2grns. Then I look in the Hodgdon manual and they list starting at 4.5grns (I don't recall the max as I don't have the books with me here)? Then I looked at the Winchster and Hodgdon websights and got even different numbers. I understand that the type of bullet used is going to change things a bit, but a FMJ should be the same no? Color me confused.
