double post. Sorry.

Thanks for all the great responses, especially LiveLife for your very detailed post. I am using new Starline brass. I have weighed all the bullets and am weighing each charge. I have loaded a lot of 45 ACP for bullseye so I am following the same methodology for match ammo that I have used in the...

I have a SIG P210 target that I want to develop an accuracy load for bullseye. My gun prefers 115 gr factory ammo. I have several powders available so I am looking for recommendations on which powder to start testing with. I am an experienced reloader and all loads will be verified with current...

I sent an email. I will let you know what they say.

For the FMJ the OAL is the same. 1.100" For the JHP the 5th edition list 1.050" in the 6th the list 1.500" which is clearly a misprint because SAAMI max AOL 1.169 and the bullet and the case combined are shorter than 1.5"

I am using the hard copy book and yes they list the 8120 as JHP.

Has anyone noticed the 9mm load data in the sierra manual #6 changed drastically from the previous manual. For 9mm 115 gr using Unique the max is shown as 5.4 grains in #6 and it was 6.6 in #5. The classic 115 gr unique load is 6 grains so I am surprised that they now say that is over max.

That sounds like no powder. I know you said you visually inspected each case before loading. Was there unspent powder left behind after the strange sounding shots?

Every time.
