    No, I am looking for data out of a newer Hornady manual with Hornady bullets. I am well aware of the Hodgdon web site, thanks anyway.[;)]

    8th edition hornady handbook does not list your powder for 124 grain fmj which by the way has been discontinued

    9th edition does not show that powder. Only Unique, Herco, Win AutoComp, VIHT N-350, Power Pistol, IMR SR-4756, HS-6, Blue Dot and Accurate #7

    My Speers #14 Manual does not have that powder for that bullet either.

    only list win 231 for a 115 grain bullet not the 124. The loads for the 115 is 4.1 gn lowest to 4.7 max. That is for a fmj rn.This is the most current addition to the hornaday reloading manual. If you want powders and loads for the 124 fmj rn I can give you those. Try Unique. 4.0 lowest to 4.7 highest I would use the same loads for the 115 as I would for the 124, but that is just me.Oakie

    Hornady doesn't post there loads for free online like the powder companies do.

    You can email or call a Tech at Hornady & they will provide you with whatever they can to help you out.

    Load data is NOT bullet specific. Have you read a manual?
    What a handloader does is check at least two sources for load data and starts at the lowest starting load.
    Here is my compilation of loads:
    Bullet Weight Powder Weight Velocity Note P.F. COL
    J-all 125 231/HP38 3.2 901 Start 113
    Sie JHP 125 231/HP38 3.9 900 Start 113 1.075

    Spr SP, GD-HP, TMJ 124 231/HP38 4.5 998 Max 124 1.120-1.135

    Sie JHP 125 231/HP38 5.1 1100 Max 138 1.075
    Sie J-all 125-130 231/HP38 5.1 1100 Max 140 1.075-1.135
    JSP 125 231/HP38 5.1 1108 Max 139
    FMJ 124 231/HP38 5.2 1100 Max 136 1.040

    (wish we could post Excel files)
    First, take a couple of empty cases and make up two inert (no power or primer) dummy rounds. You will seat the bullets long and just remove the bell/flare at the case mouth such that the round drop in barrel (or case gage) easily (though they won't go all the way since the bullet should be too long. Next, seat the bullets in small increments until they fit in your magazine(s). Now, see if they feed and chamber. If not, keep seating the bullets slightly deeper until they do. This is your maximum effective COL for that particular bullet.
    Next, I tend to load up 5-10 rounds at that COL and 5-10 at various progressively deeper seated COLs using the lowest starting load. You may find that the lowest starting load doesn't cycle you gun, but that is not your concern right now. Find the COL range that functions in your gun. If you have several guns and need to load for all of them, then work until they all feed that bullet reliably.
    After you have a COL that works, then you can start working up the load. Keep notes on your findings.
    For a FMJ-RN, I find a COL of 1.100" is the minimum I have used, 1.125" works almost universally in my guns, and 1.160" is often the most accurate.

    You will hardly ever find an exact component match when searching for load data.

    It is perfectly acceptable and safe to use tested data of Same weight bullet of similar construction from different manufacturers. If it was Not safe and acceptable, bullet manufacturers like Montana Gold, Rainier, Berry, Armscore and even Remington would be hard pressed to sell their bullets as there is little to no data for these bullets.

    I'm not looking for a lesson in hand loading, been doing it for 25 years. I was looking for newer Hornady load data for a 124 grain fmj RN and Win 231. From what was posted Hornady no longer uses 231 with the 124 grain round nose. I just wanted to see how the data from my 4th edition manual compared with newer data.

    Thanks for the effort.

    Well, why then are you requesting ONLY Hornady data and why if the manuals don't contain the data you seem to want?
    Call Hornady and ask them. They might have some data.
    After 40 years of reloading, I have no idea why Hornady load data should be gold standard.

    I wanted to know the difference between forth edition and a current edition. I thought my question was pretty straight forward. I simply asked for Hornady data with Hornady bullets. The Hornady bullets would be moot if the data came from a Hornady manual.
