walsh Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'm trying out fifty 115gr RN 9mm from Black Bullets International and HP-38 Hodgdon online list 4.3 to 4.8 grains for RN lead and a 1.1 OAL. I was going to try 4.5 grains Wednesday Thursday night. Is there anything about these bullets with the coating that changes the powder needed?

smokshwn Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't have first hand experience with BBI or the loading you refer to, however the coated bullets tend to give a little more velocity when compared to jacketed or lead bullets at the same charge weight. I am sure if you started at 4.3gr you would be plenty safe. Chronograph the load and then make changes from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
