I have been reloading for about 2 month now and I am noticing difference on recommended, min and max loads. Which do you believe. For instance when reloading 125 FMJ 9mm with alliant powder.
Lyman book - 4.5-5 grains for 125 grain JHP
Alliant sheet - 5.5 grains for 125 grain FMJ
handloading.com - 5.6-6.2 grain for 125 grain FMJ
The complete reloading manual for 9mm - 6.2 grains max for 125 grain FMJ
Which source is the best? I would think the powder manaufature but not sure. Is there a difference in powder loads between one manaufactures FMJ bullet and another? I know the ideal way would be to use a chronograph and measure speed of the bullet to help pick a load but I do not have one right now.
