Hi all...need some help. Have been checking out this forum for about a year but just now joined. Have done some loading in the last year or so, but still consider myself a newb.
Ha...I started reloading to cut costs of ammo so I could shoot more, but have since realized that reloading is becoming a hobby in and of itself!
Just moved from a Lee Turret press to a Hornady LNL AP.
I purchased Berry's plated bullets (.452 200gr HBFP) and am using Hogdon with HS-6 powder. I would prefer another powder (Unique, Universal, Titegroup, etc.)
but this is what I found locally in stock. My loads are just for general plinking, etc. (.45ACP).
The Hogdon website only shows this for suggested load:
200gr SPR JHP
Start: 8.2 @ 868fps
Max: 9.0 @ 948fps
COL: 1.115"
I am not certain how to accurately look up loads. I don't really understand the hollow-base concept and frankly, the different acronym's used across the spectrum are confusing
when comparing load data between different reloading manuals. :banghead:
My question: Is the above load data (200gr SPR JHP) the same as the suggested load data for a jacketed hollow-point in other manuals?
I have recent reload manuals for Hornady, Sierra, Lyman and of course the load data recoomendations that come with my die sets.
Any help, suggestions, idea's would be greatly appreciated. Thx
