Load Check-9mm with Hodgdon HP-38

[Titus4404]

All,

Brand new to reloading. Wanted to check my load (sounds rude. The only powder I have found anywhere is Hodgdon HP-38.

Want to use Sellier & Bellot 124 grs FMJ bullets.

Various sources are telling me between 4.4-4.8.

I was hoping to find a light but accurate load for my CZ-75. Also hoping I don't blow myself up. Both are goals.

Thanks again,

David

I checked the Hodgdon reloading site
I expected there to be load data as this used to be a common powder
Hodgdon does not list this powder for 124 jacketed bullets

??????????????

I know, used the 125 grs data. Is that a safe assumption?

Found a few other references on the web that did speak to the 124 grs bullet, however, brand new to reloading so wanted to be sure.

Thanks,

David

Is the same as w-231. I run 4.4 gr over 124gr plated loads for just over 1000fps.
Check the Winchester site.
