Re: New Reloader here, Need some help.

Good advise. Additionally, before I raised the powder charge, I would first:
1) Crony the loads to see if they are reaching stated velocities.
2) Make sure the problem isn't from the gun.
3) Check to see that the crimp is tight enough.
4) check multiple data sources.

Using Hodgdon's online data (http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/pistol), for 130gr 9mm they show 3.9gr to a maximum of 4.3gr of WW231.

Re: New Reloader here, Need some help.

I got the recipe from load data.com so I'm pretty sure it's accurate. Since I am brand new to reloading I figured I would post my setup here and let the other members come in with tips and advice. Thanks for the response.
my tip & advice: buy at least one reloading databook (Speer, Hornady, Lee, Sierra, Lyman).
by all means use data on the internet, but always double check against another source.
Also, Hodgdon has a good site for data:
