    Hornady XTP 115g

    Hey All, I need your help.
    I am kinda new to reloading. As of now I only load 380 and 9mm. I want to load both with the same componets, so that I can keep it kinda simple.
    I have Win 231 powder.
    Win primers
    Mixed cases
    Bullets the Sierra #8110 JHP 115g or the
    Hornady #35540 XTP HP 115G
    I have load info for the Sierra #8110 for both 380 and 9mm
    Does anybody have load info for the Hornady #35540 for 380 and 9mm. I like the looks of the Hornady better but I just can't find the info for it. Would it be about the same as the Sierra for a start?
    Any help?
    Thanks

    Per Speer Manual #13 and 14:

    115 grain Win 231 minimum 4.4 grains -- maximum 4.9 grains. Overall length 1.125". I use the same bullet, 115 grain XTP HP, with great success in regards to accuracy and feeding from my Beretta 92 and Ruger P95. In regard with Sierra, yes it would be the same. Always start with minimum charge and work up.

      From Hornady, I think they listed 1.075 OAL. Is that inaccurate?

        That is how I loaded them 6.0gr Power Pistol and the shoot mighty fine.

        I have since moved to Montana Gold Bullets 115gr HP $80/1000 can't be beat. I load them the same way!
        If you want change you have to put in your 2 cents, you can't just sit on the sidelines and whine.

          Actually that is correct 1.075". I went back to my notes and found that I have it listed. The 1.125" I quoted from Speer is from their brand bullet (Gold Dot).
