I am getting ready to load up some rounds but I am wanting to make sure that my data is correct because the data on the manufacturers website is all over the place. I will be loading Berry's 115gr plated RN and Xtreme 124gr RN. I will be using Longshot and Titegroup for these.
I have the following data: 115gr S M Longshot 5.0 6.0 Titegroup 3.9 4.3 124gr S M Longshot 4.8 5.8 Titegroup 3.6 4.1 Does this seem right? I got this data off of Hodgdon's website, just wanting to make sure I am using the correct bullets to equate to. Thanks for the help. |

Think of reloading data as a report. What happened on this day when we used these components in this gun. Change things and you will get different results. Why data seldom is the same. What to do? Simple, begin loading at the start load and work up watching for pressure signs. From the Extreme site, http://www.xtremebullets.com/category-s/1952.htm

Most likely it would be fine to start at 3.2 with a plated 124g (as opposed to jacketed which can
be very unforgiving of low charge weights - ie stuck bullet, gun explodes on next shot). That said this is something you have to watch VERY closely unless you are working with data for the exact combo. You can still stick a bullet with lead or plated. It is just harder to do. If there is any question call the bullet manufacturer for their recommendation. [ETA: badly worded - I mean I am careful not to go below published charge weights with jacketed bullets. I'm not as worried about it in a pistol with lead (or plated) bullets in a pistol, but it is something to be taken carefully.] |

You talking 3.9 grs TiteGroup, 115 gr plated bullet in 9mm? Quoted:

Would there be any issues with starting at the start charge for LRN? Yeah, would that be a good start or should I go higher then that? |

If it were me, I would start at 3.3 grs of TiteGroup. Quoted:

Never go the other way, use data for a lighter bullet than you are loading.
