I'm very new to reloading, and I'm a bit confused. I have been loading 9mm only recently, using 4.6gr of Hodgdon Titegroup with a 115gr Hornady XTP. Am I loading these way to high? They work fine in every 9mm i've fired them in, a Sig P320, Hi-Point C9, Walther PPS, HK VP9, and Glock 17.
Pic related, my handloads. (no tumbler as of now, just gonna have to use dirty brass)

Why not check your manuals?

Don't have any, i've been going off my own experience and the internet. Most of the reloading forums i've visited are dead.

Sell everything you own.
You are not smart enough to reload and barely smart enough to handles firearms.
Sell everything and you will probably not lose fingers.

Trusting random internet load data without verification is dumb as fuck. At least download scanned manuals, or use manufacture published data on their own sites, or ask for one of those free pamphlets that has the most basic loads for the most common caliber.

Been using that site, it says 4.8gr of hodgdon titegroup for a 115gr so I scaled it back a bit to 4.6gr.
I have common sense, I'm not completely autistic

Plenty of reloaders (myself not included) dont use manuals. Just aa long as you use published data from reputable sources, it makes no difference.

I've also been using the Hodgdon site

Im well within the maximum loads

>having to use manuals
you can literally eyeball this shit.
Find the line from the top where the lead sits on, and then fill all the space that would be left empty, with gunpowder.
Do this a bunch of times and you're ready to go to the range.
The only important part is to not cheap out on the primers.

The front of the bottle of tite group says 4.8 is the max for 115 grains so you are fine. I have been using that recently for 147gr subsonic loads. Using 3.4gr for it
