Thanks guys. I will get to the range tomorrow and check these out and see how they perform in my XDm. I guess it is time to start looking around for chronograph.

I just purchased some Montana Gold 9mm 124 Gr CMJ bullets. I should have checked my load data before ordering. I can't find any official load data for the 9mm 124 gr CMJ with Hodgdon Titegroup power.
Hodgdon shows a range of 4.1 to 4.4 for the 125 Gr SIE FMJ.
Speer lists 4.1 to 4.4 for Speer TMJ RN, UCSP or GDHP
I loaded up 10 at 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. Now I am second guessing myself. How does the CMJ compare to FMJ bullets? Is it safe to use the same range or should I be starting with a different load.
Does anybody have a tested load for this combination?
Thank you in advance.
