[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 952677, member: 307"] trailboy, Welcome to LongRange Hunting. While the 9mm Luger is not really considered a Long Range cartridge, I will still help you out. All the reloading books are going to vary a bit. The data they're putting in their book is their test results for that cartridge. They all use different facilities, pistols (or test barrels), cases, primers, etc., so the data will differ a little. You just have to decide who you want to trust/follow. Unique is an Alliant powder so best to check their website next time. ([url=http://www.alliantpowder.com]Alliant Powder - Home[/url]). They list 6.3gn as max. My Nosler says 5.1 - 6.1gn, Lee says 5.8 - 6.1gn. Probably best to not go past 6.3gn. Good rule of thumb; drop down 10% from max load (6.3 - .63 = 5.67gn) and start working up from there. Happy shooting! JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
