czambesi Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I am going to use Montana Gold bullets for my 9mm production and .40 limited. Is anyone else currently using them? If so which are you using and what is your recipe? I did not see a list of recommended min loads to go off of. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Bullet weights would be helpful. In my 9PRO I used 124 CMJ's with 4.2 N320 at 1.13 for 134 PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelShooten Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Bullet: 9mm MG 124 FMJ or Zero 124 FMJ COL: 1.160 / 1.165 Charge: 4.8 W231 Primers: WSP Brass: Fed / Win / Speer / R-P / Fiocchi / Blazer / CCI I use it on steel. It runs a carbine and a half dozen pistols. I haven't chrono'd this loading in the M&P but it should be about 1000 ft/s. Note: this load is from a Hodgdon manual - its not a starter load; I worked up to it. Use less powder if you don't load this long. You also need a good taper crimp.

czambesi Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks guys. Sarge- I am looking at input for bullet weights. I am starting from square one and taking any and all advice. SteelShooten- Thanks for the info. Anyone have input on .40? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin-ster Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 MG 124 grain JHP 4.1 grains VV N320 1.140" OAL Federal SPP, Federal Brass ~131 PF Out of my 9 Pro. It's essentially the same load I was running in my G17 before, but shorter and with a bit less powder thanks to the added barrel length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czambesi Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I know each of you shoot the different types (CMJ, JHP, FMJ) What made you choose which type? Looks like I am going to try the 124's. Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Anyone have input on .40? I use 4.1-ish of n320 under 165 grain fmj (montana gold or zero). this just barely makes minor pf, around 127 on average in testing so far. I'm in the process of sanding my pro-auto-disk measure until it makes about 130. Under the same bullet, I also use 3.2 or 3.3 of clays, which conveniently also just barely makes minor pf in the same auto-disk setting, so sanding that hole larger should benefit either powder. all chrono has been shot out of a cz75. I haven't yet chrono'd them out of my m&p Edited February 16, 2012 by motosapiens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathandewalt Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I shoot 160 grain bayou bullets in my 9 pro with 3.3 grains of bullseye at 1.15. No primer flow observed in the spend casings. it cronos around 850 fps which is a 136 power factor. My bunny fart round is very easy to shoot and actually very accurate. nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
