I've been using the charts from this site and have played around with different numbers. Although the site doesn't list 124 they do list 125 for 231.

I've been running 4.4 and haven't had any problems.

then click on Data, loading data and it will take you do their loading database.

Almost every reloading manual in the known universe would have data for that combo.

Have you read any?

You are NOT going to find any manuals that SPECIFICALLY have loads with Win SPP and mixed brass.

Just remember, after reading the manual(s), to always start at the lowest starting load you can find and work the load up carefully.

Here is what I use, YMMV.

* ALWAYS Load with Caution & Load Up not Down during Testing/Eval.

Glock 9mm G34/G17; Factory Barrel

Xtreme 124grn Plated RN

OAL: 1.135"

Crimp .377-.378

SPP

W231 4.4 grn

MG 124grn JHP

OAL: 1.120"

Crimp: .376

SPP

W231 4.4 grn

^ Only difference is Crimp OD & OAL

fwiw: CZ 75SA = MG 124JHP 1.085-1.095 OAL; Dropped W231 to 4.2-4.3

^ Again, Start Low & Load Up with any powder.

Have a great one

Yep i did read my Lyman manual (the latest copy) and it did --- NOT --- state a load for 124 gr using W231 powder..

Then, it wasn't one of the "almost" every manual.

Might need to move to slightly older manuals as the newest ones tend to want to include new powders, figuring you can get their owl manuals for old powders.

Here is my compilation. I start at the lowest start load and work up to the lowest Max load. If performance isn't there and I have no pressure signs (including comparing recoil to factory loads), I cautiously move up.
