Default 9mm plated RN vs HP

Finally got some nice weather to melt the snow and dry out the back roads.
Went out and tried a few RN and new Berry target hollow points
in my 5" 9mm pistol.
Did a heavy load and a target load test with six loads for each target at 15 yards.
Here is the target of the full loads with a OAL for the ball type powders
and the longer OAL for the bulky flake powders.

The target loads were set at a OAL of 1.10" with the .571" bullet
that can take up a lot of space in the case. I used a 92% case volume
for that test but that's another story.

Here is what shook out with my full loads with the good, bad and the ugly Berry bullet.
