I am new to reloading. I have some components to start but have some questions. I have Hodgdon Universal and Berry's 124gr RN plated bullets. The Hodgdon data says to use 130gr Berry's RN with universal and from what I can tell Berry's does not even sell a 130gr 9mm. Can I use these bullets and if so what would be a good starting load? They show a Berry's CN bullet that is 124gr with Universal which will give an idea of how much powder to start with but since I am using a RN what would the COL be? Can I do this?
here is their 130gr data.
130 GR. BERB RN Hodgdon Universal .356" 1.150" 3.8 857 26,600 PSI 4.2 978
