Rio,

The Hodgdon website agrees with your original post.

I’ve had some trouble with their data recently, where the website and their most recent manual conflict in not trivial ways.

In one case, the max load for a 9mm Hornady 147 XTP with CFE pistol is 4.2 grains in the manual, but shows 5.5 grains on the website.

That’s a dangerous difference.

I went with 4.2 based on what they had for other lesser bullet weights.

I’m afraid to think of what 5.5 might have produced.
