What happens if you use a smokeless powder to reload a lighter bullet than recommended ???
Some smokeless powders are formulated for the heavier bullets of a specific caliber. In example, VihtaVuori N-105 is not recommended for reloading less than 130gr bullets for a 9mm Luger. I just happen to have a couple of pounds of N-105 and love it in .357 and .500 loads. I am very tempted to reload some 124gr 9mm Luger with the VV recipe for 130gr 9mm Luger. Does anyone know what the outcome would be ?
