Jman Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Welcome to the forum and Production division. Of course you should refer to your manual for starters. Then check our 9mm sub-forum for tons of minor load favorites. Have fun be safe. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCS44256 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I use Winchester 231 with 124 JHP. Power Pistol is a highly recommended powder but I've never used it. AA5 and AA7 also work fine for me. Others in the game will chime in with more data. Powder availablilty in your area will influnce what you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartens Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Jump into the 9mm/38 caliber sub-forum and you'll find plenty of good reading. I use Titegroup with jacketed and plated bullets and WSF with lead and moly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 When you are developing loads you need to use a chronograph. Remember to check your loads under different weather conditions some powders are temperature sensitive. Start with the minimum loads and work your way up. You will need to check the loads in both guns due to difference in barrel length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarab Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 where do I find the 9mm forum? I only have the net on my phone.. 2" screen s--ks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJDOUBLETAP Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 where do I find the 9mm forum? I only have the net on my phone.. 2" screen s--ks... Go to the main page of the forum. Then go down, about half way, to the General Reloading thread. From there go to the 9mm/38 sub thread. I like VVn320 for my jacketed 9mm loads. Tite Group is decent too.

villihun Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hi there My favorite powder is Vuhtavuori N330 which was specifically designed for 9mm. Measures well and has a very consistent burning rate. I have found that the 145gr projectiles with 3.8-3.9gr powder gives me the best accuracy. The overall length of the load should be 29mm. Reloading is half of the fun. Regards villihun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
