- I have the 46th edition of Lyman, and it seems very cautious in
- its listed maximum loads and/or given velocities for some calibers.
- The pamphlets from WW and Herc give both higher vels for the same charge,
- and higher max charges. I have a bunch of pages copied from some other
- guides (speer and some others), and it also seems hotter.
-
- BTW, in .45 ACP the max suggested loads/vels for fast powders like BE
- and 231 seem to be below even the standard vels for non +P factory
- for some bullets in some reloading guides.
-
- I have yet to see any reloading guide that lists .45 +P or
- 9mm +P.
