rainier load data errors, 9mm 115gr prn
I purchased 9mm 115gr plated Rainier from Midway.
There was not much load data for these creatures.
I use Unique and AA#5 so finding loads for these were my goal.
From the rainier web site, if found the load data for aa#5 and found the same data at accurate web sites.
Unique worked ok, but #5 gave a 90% stovepipe in my Walther p99 and Beretta 92.
Contacting Rainier, they say plated are not the same as lead, and not fmj, something in-between.
To make a long story short, Accurate said the load data was faulty and would pull it from their web site. Use the load data for a FMJ bullet, I did and it works fine, no signs of overpressure.
Rainier still has the AA#5 115gr plated data that is no good, the do-not-exceed load gives about a 40% failure rate, the start load is 100%, no signs of over-pressure.
hope this helps
