[115 Berrys HP and Unique?]

I wanted to work up a load using 115gr Berrys HP and Unique.

Alliance website says max of 6.3gr with Speer gdhp.

I dropped back to 5.7gr and loaded a case.....it looks like I'll be close to or compressing this load.

Anybody have any feedback on this?

Thanks

I just acquired some .357 dies and hope to load some .38/.357 shells in the near future.

Powders on hand at the moment are Unique, 700X, 800X and SR7625.

[Unique and 147gr lead bullets. Need data]

I shot some 147 extreme plated with 4.3 gr of Unique. 1.140 COL 999fps

Shot well in my M&P

[Are you 50 years old?]

Had my 'scope a few years ago, 46 I think.....lots of fun cleaning the pipes but no biggy after that.

I never did find out who dressed me tho!

[Powder suggestions for 9mm Xtreme 147gr minor]

I'm shooting 147's with Unique and SR7625 at the moment.

Testing with True Blue, 700X and 800X planned.

[Ramshot True Blue]

Does anybody have any feedback, opinions or load data on True Blue powder?

I shoot 9mm and .45 auto.

Thanks

[Newbie questions....Minor, Major, Black n Blue bullets]

Great, thanks guys..............I'm in the loop now!

[Newbie questions....Minor, Major, Black n Blue bullets]

I'm curious about what is MINOR and MAJOR on loads? I'm assuming it is a PF for shooting competition but don't know what the definitions are.

I see Black bullets and Blue bullets mentioned..................... Don't guess I've ever seen them, who puts them out and what is your opinion as compared to Extreme or Berry's.

Thanks for the input, hope I'm not beating a dead horse!

[IMR 800x and Xtreme 147gr]

Hogdons site has a load with the XTP that can be used with a slight COL adjustment.

I loaded some a few weeks ago but am not home with the load data at the moment. Shot ok but was on the low end of powder.
