    Question Hornady Reloading Manual Data...

    Can someone give me the O.C.L. for a couple of Hornady bullets for the 9mm?

    115 grain HP action pistol…
    90 grain XTP/HP...

    QL gives some cartridge lengths for Hornady bullets, but many of the lengths are the same for different weight bullets…

    Thanks…BCB

    1.075" and 1.070", respectively. From the 10th edition.

    Thanks...

    That's what I was looking for. The other sources are sort of generic for weights and not specific bullets...

    I'm new to reloading this cartridge, small charges of power etc., and as we all know, very little variations can mean big variations in pressure...

    The larger cartridges are a bit more forgiving...

    Thanks again...BCB

    Your overall length needs to function in your gun. Software will not substitute for working up a load that functions through the magazine.

    Right...

    I can always change the O.C.L. in QL, but I wanted to start with the manufacture's listings and go from there...

    Thanks...BCB

    BCB, maybe you can help me out when you have a moment? Can you see if QL has anything for 300 Blackout with a 190gr Nosler Custom Competition with CFL BLK?

    I don't see CFL BLK listed under the Hodgdon power selections. I think I have the latest update for QL also...

    Sorry...BCB
