Can't find any load data for this combo. I figure 6 grains would be okay but curious what the upper limit might be. Any load data would be appreciated.
My number one suggestion when loading plated bullets is to stick to the minimum loads, if you push them too fast stripping becomes a problem and accuracy goes to hell
I would have contacted Berry's but I assumed someone else had already solved this equation. I don't think the Speer GDHP is a copper plated bullet...isn't it a jacketed bullet? I don't know that for sure but I wouldn't think their self defense ammo would be a plated bullet.
If it really is a plated bullet I would default to that load, but it seems like a hefty max powder charge for a plated bullet. I ended up with with the same COAL as that bullet, as it has about the same dimensions, and went with a powder charge of 5.7 grains. I was loading 6.4 grains of Power Pistol with the 115 grain round nose flat base bullets and that was a nice load. If you never hear from me again things didn't turn out good with these hollow base 124 grain bullets.
