    Does anyone use Hodgdon Universal to reload 9mm 115 or 124 FMJ's

    Picked up some Universal for reloading 9mm Hornady 115gr FMJ and 124gr FMJ. Reloading manuals are all over the place (I have manuals from just about everyone) as to starting loads and max loads. Example Hornady's list 4.5gr as max for 115gr FMJ, Lee's lists it as starting load.
