Loading 9 mm (115 gr JHP) with Bullseye powder.
Hodgdon Data Manual #26 says starting load is 4.0 grains of powder with a max of 4.4 grains.
Hornady 4th edition says 4.5 grains starting load and 5.1 grains is max.
Again both for Bullseye powder.
Which to use?
Anyone has a similar issue with suck a wide disparity where the max loaded as stating by one manual is less than the starting load of another manual?
These manuals were given to me when I started reloading. I've never really compared data across them. I'm about to start loading for some WWII warhorses that I've added to my collection. Can't risk damaging them. Anyone have a recommendation for a better manual?
