I have been using the Hodgdon 1.125 C.O.L 4.7 to 5.1 grain data, but I load at the 1.130 C.O.L. I seem to have good luck within this area, but I might try loading the 1.100 and see how that works. Oh yea, I am loading the Berry's 115 round nose with HP-38 powder. I am also shooting them through a Walther PPS so the recoil is a little more than with a full sized pistol. I shoot the Berry's in 9mm, S&W 40, and 38 special and find them all to perform well. I don't think you will be disappointed with the Berry's.
