Need help for load data for 9x18 Mak
I just received my reloading supplies from Graf and also got a Speer reloading book. I already have one from Lee. I want to reload 9x18 Makarov. I also am using Speer 95 grain bullet with accurate #5 powder. Lee And Speer loads are not he same. The top load in Lee is the start load in the Speer book. So what do I do now?

Start low, and work your way up. The speer data is specifically for their bullets, so I wouldn't be afraid to use their manual I've had great luck loading Speer 95gr GDs with W231.
Load safe! |

When in doubt, go with the powder maker. Here's the link to Accurate and the Mak data
http://www.accuratepowder.com/data/P...0page%2090.pdf Looks like 5.6 grs AA5 is max. You'll probably find 5.5 grs to be the most accurate. |

I really appreciate the information. I must be slipping, because I went to there site and could not find the Mak info. Thanks again. So now I can get started tomorrow. I hope it all comes together for me.

There's no specified SAMMI pressure rating for this cartridge.
