chgofirefighter Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 A friend gave me a box of 500 rounds of E-Treme bullets, 135gr, HP .356 profile, since I only use 125gr and these were free I want to load them and test them out. My preferred powder is sports pistol for 9mm minor and I am using a CZ S2 platform. What I'm currently loading for minor is 125gr TC blue bullets, .356 using 3.9gr of Sports pistol and 1.130 OAL which gives me 131/133 PF~ If anyone has a recipe for the above grain and bullet, please chime in~ Thanks in advance~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJB Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 For coated bullets using Sport Pistol I load as follows @ 1.12": 125 gr = 4.0 gr SP 135 gr = 3.7 gr SP 147 gr = 3.4 gr SP These will all give you mid-130s power factor via a 4.5" barrel. If you load a plated 135 gr bullet with 3.3 gr SP if will likely be a little weaker than you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was previously using 3.5gr, but that was showing 133-135pf so I sleazed it down a bit to be a gamer lol... (don't really feel much if any difference dropping down 0.1gr to be honest). Like BJB said, the plated's are supposed to be a tad slower than coated so I bet you'd be fine with 3.4 or if not, 3.5 to end up around 130pf.
