Berry's HBRN & CFE pistol powder DATA

[Marty Scruggs]

Does anyone have any data on loading 9mm 115gr Berry's HBRN with CFE powder??? My Lyman's book must be too old, and Hodgdon web site has nothing with this bullet?   Any help will  be greatly appreciated...

I've not tried CFE powder, but have loaded quite a few Berry's over the years using same weight load data for the round... with many different powders.

You can even e-mail Berry's for suggestions. I've found them quite helpful and very prompt.

I hope this helps.

This is from Berry's FAQ section:

Question: Do you have load data available? COL or OAL?

We do not research or publish the load data. Please consult load data books or your powder manufacturers' website for load information. You can use published load data for lead/cast bullets or low to mid-range FMJ data, as long as it is the same weight bullet. Berry's offers our standard plate bullets which can handle velocities up to 1,250 fps and 1,500 fps for our Thick Plate (TP) versions.
