    115g FMJ Hornady load data request

    My Hornady manual is 4th edition, 1991.

    Bullet is 9 mm Hornady 115g.

    My manual gives a minimum charge with 231 of 4.5g.

    Does anyone with a new manual show a charge less than that?

    Nope. I run 4.7gr in my H&K P7. Nice load. That's the current minimum in the Hodgdon 2009.

      I have an 1989 Sierra manual and it shows 4.6g as minimun.

      I was kind of wondering what the last Hornady manual gives as the minimun.

            Thanks,that's interesting. I suspected they might have gone lower, but I am suprised they went that low and lowered top end as much as they did.

            I'm trying to figure what I need to use as charge for gun, a Beretta 92FS, so action will fuction reliably and still have good accuracy.

              5.2 gr of UNIQUE with a 115gr bullet will send it out of a springfield-9 at 1050 fps. that should do it for you. (sierra reloading manual)

                Something you'll have to work through yourself. There is no magic recipe that works for every gun.
