us_shooter Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just bought a new H&K VP9 and it's the only 9mm I own so I guess I will be reloading for it. Scoured through the forum for a load and found that the 124grn Bayou is pretty popular over Titegroup which is the only powder I use. I also use Bayou Bullets in my 40's and 45's My question is which bullet shape are the majority of you using for great accuracy, reliability or both. Very few posters list which shape bullet they use, only the weight. Any specifics are greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Either will most likely feed fine I like the Tc's because I can adjust the col without having the ridge where it goes into the RN sticking out Not sure with your HK how long you can load with my SIG's and 1911's I can go fairly long if I choose to Donnie will sell a sample pack of ea to you you may want to try a 100 or 250 of each before you commit to a larger order good fortune with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't think I will have function problems with either bullet. Don't know about accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmagee67 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've shot the RN for a few years and like them feed well in all gun I own and shot well. So I thought I would give the new TCG 124gr a go. They fed well and shot well, BUT the ran slower than the RN's I would have had to bump up my powder charge a tenth of a grain or so. Not really a big deal but why? So I stuck with the RN's. The ,40 cal 180gr TCG ran a lot slower than the ones with the grease ring.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertwyatt Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I like the TC because they seem to feed the easiest. But, I've shot the RN and never noticed an accuracy difference that wasn't related to the monkey behind the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
us_shooter Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Appreciate the advice. Not trying to make a competition load so much as an accurate practice load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdinga Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Had good luck with the TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Atlanta Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Difference should be negligible, with a little load developement both should be very accurate and function well. I like SWCs and TCs because (for me) they are easier to grab and place during bullet seating. Edited March 12, 2015 by Joe_Atlanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
us_shooter Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I figured the TC would also be easier to set up in my bullet feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gahunter12 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I personally load the 135gr RN. They have been very accurate so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
