MTW Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I need some guidance. I have 40 cal 165 gr Rainier HP bullets with a choice of Accurate no. 5 or Unique powder and am having trouble finding load data. Shooting a Beretta 96- just for fun.. With no concern over PF. Reloading on Dillon 550 with Dillon dies. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneedragger316 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I am very new to reloading but I have some rainer 165 flat nose and with Unique the data I got was starting 5.2 gr 850 fps up to 7.0 gr 1150 fps...but I am using Sierra bullet data 165 gr JHP.....I started at lower end and I am at 5.8 gr now at 950 fps....hope that helps a little.

danman00 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 A fellow reloader friend of mine uses close to the same recipe. He used to load 5.5 gr of AA#5 165 gr Rainier FP but later moved to 180gr FP. He prefered these to the 165 gr. but he was also shooting a glock not a Baretta. Just remember to start low and work your way up - advise that has been burned into me from reading these forums. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
