It is listed in the Lyman manual under 125 gr JHP. Also, according to Xtreme you can load them up to 1200 FPS so you can load using jacketed data with HP-38.so with it not being in 2 known manuals would it be safe to say this isn't a good powder for that caliber?
Lyman 49th?? Must have missed it.It is listed in the Lyman manual under 125 gr JHP. Also, according to Xtreme you can load them up to 1200 FPS so you can load using jacketed data with HP-38.
Even before HP-38 and W231 became one powder, they were good for 9mm.ohiohunter2014 said:so with it not being in 2 known manuals would it be safe to say this isn't a good powder for that caliber?
Not being funny is that really what that means? I seen that on hodgdon and said what the heck is that!?!I just loaded 600 rounds of the RMR 124 gr. plated with 4.2 gr. HP-38. Data comes from Hodgon website using the 124 gr. BERB HBRN TP, Berry's, Hollow Base Round Nose, Thick Plated.
It is coming up on the end of the year and Hodgdon's annual printed magazine of load data will be on the shelves soon, if not already. I believe it has a section that describes the projectile abbreviations that Hodgdon uses in their data, if memory serves me correctly. I usually find one each year at the local Kroger's grocery store.Not being funny is that really what that means? I seen that on hodgdon and said what the heck is that!?!
I have been using 5.4gn of HS-6 @ 1.16 for plain lead. Is that pretty close to what you loaded to?I use HS-6 with all my 9mm loads. I loaded 1,000 this weekend with 124g coated MBC RN's.
That is an awfully light load. You must be getting a lot of unburnt powder with such low pressures. When I load a 124/125gr lead bullet in the 9mm I charge 6.2gr HS-6 w/magnum primer and that's even a little light.I have been using 5.4gn of HS-6 @ 1.16 for plain lead.

It may be, It functions great however although I did have 1 light primer strike that I attribute to not fully seating the primer. Fired when I fed it back into the gun. Recoil was about on par with WWB and I only noticed "smoke" on 1-2 out of the 80 I fired yesterday.That is an awfully light load. You must be getting a lot of unburnt powder with such low pressures.

Make sure you look at the data from the page itself, and that it's appropriate for your load. Don't trust what I've posted here... always check load information yourself.
