9mm loads with Herco?


Recommended Posts

I know ya'll are thinking right now I'm 80 years old. Herco is pretty much a forgotten powder. But, I have bunch of it and it burns a little slower than Unique, so I wanna use it in 9mm loads. Has anybody used it in 9mm? I've loaded over a thousand .38's and .357 Magnums with it.

I have a manual from Alliant in 2001 that has Herco loads for 9mm.
It lists 6.2 grains as max for a 125grain lead boolit. Velocity is listed as 1165fps with a pressure of 28.5K psi OAL of 1.15 from a 4 inch barrel.
The manual as well as others is available for download from castpics.
The Lyman 44th handbook lists a start load of 4.6 grains with a max of 6.2 grains with about the same velocity.
