i have good results with mid-range loads with that combo but also have as good results with the other powders I have tried with that bullet

 

[hagen_chad]

My Hornady manual doesn't show any loads for that bullet using PP.

Hornady #8 lists: 180gr XTP/HAP/FMJ with Power Pistol

5.1gr/850fps -> 7.1gr/1050fps (.5gr=50fps increments)

.

Reloading manuals make good accessories/investments for your reloading hardware.

There is the little Lyman load data manual that has 380, 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 ACP.

It list a 180 Sierra JHP with power Pistol powder but does not list as much powder as the above XTP information.......
but I found that is has a "Safety area" with most of its top loads, which is a good thing.

booklet runs around $10 in most sport stores.
Good loading.
