H38 for 9mm 147gr

[smaddox]

Anyone have load data for H38 powder on 147gr 9mm bullets?

I assume this is what your looking for? Also depending upon type of bullet though.

Thanks! I don't know why I couldn't find that before.

Website doesn't show load data for 147gr using H38 powder. Has anyone loaded 147gr using H38?

HP-38? Never heard of H38.

I hope it's not H-380.

 

[smaddox]

Yes, HP-38. Sorry left the "P" out.

Not in front of any manuals, but the hp38 should use identical W231 load data if you can find that.

Send Hodgdon and email and ask. Let them know exactly what bullet you have; they usually get back to me in a couple working day. HP-38 should be possible with 147gr -- unless they found something in their testing that would exclude it.

An internet search yielded a load for W-231 from the Lee manual BUT THAT WAS FOR A LEAD RN BULLET!

 

[smaddox]

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that W231 specs could be used for HP38.

the 2012 Winchester reloading manual stops listing that powder at 125gr projectiles it also stops on 231 at the same. I would likely just go get listed powder and save what you have for 115 and 125 loads. of course thats just me I'm sure it will still go bang hopefully not in a bad way
