Reloading pistol caliber help

[Hunting Daddy]

Needing a little help. Been reloading 9mm with Berry's bullets and Accurate#5 with no problems. Decided to expand to .380 Auto and 40 S/W.
Here is the problem. Still going to use Berry's bullets but I have been unable to find Accurate#5 so picked up some PowerPistol and Titegroup.
I have found the load data for the .380 but unable to find any data for the 9mm and 40 S/W with these powders.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked hodgdon website or the manufactures website.


Big or small, kill em all

Must be 30 or 40 choices in Titegroup alone on the Hodgdon load pages.

Not finding any data for a jacketed bullet. Does that matter?
Is there a bullet similar to the jacketed bullet that I can use that data for?

Every bullet on the Hodgdon website is jacketed unless it specifically states otherwise. If, for example, you are trying to load a Berry's 240 gr JHP and that exact bullet is not in the list, you can go to Berry's and get the info OR, exercising diligence and care, use the Speer 240 gr JHP loads. Or Nosoler. Or Hornady.

For example, say the 240 Speer load is 5 grains of titegroup. Load your Berry Bullet with 4 grains and shoot the round. Overpressure? Too much recoil? FPS way too low (you have a Chrony or other right?) Work up slowly, same as with any other load.

Berry's has been around a long time, I am sure they have their own load info on their website. That should be your first stop
