Xfactor Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm getting into reloading, and I'm interested in seeing what working recipes other 9mm Production shooters have settled-in on... specifically, bullet brand/type and weight, powder brand/type and weight, OAL, and primer. Thanks in advance - this should be a great list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NogNog Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 There's a whole whack of list in here to give you a variety of 9mm loads. Here's what I use for my wife's G17 loads: WSP WIN Brass 125 grn JHP Zero/MGB 4.7 Grns W231 OAL = 1.090" WSP WIN Brass 125 grn JHP Zero/MGB 4.1 Grns Titegroup OAL = 1.090" WSP WIN Brass 125 grn JHP Zero/MGB 3.6 Grns VV N320 OAL = 1.090" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) 3.9 VV N320 over a MG 147 CMJ, WSP, OAL 1.125 gets me 135-140 PF through my G17 and G34 (Flex is right, I found I need the extra oomph over the Minor PF floor to get my Glocks to run). I'm going to fiddle some with Clays and TiteGroup after the Nats. spg edt Edited July 31, 2008 by kevin c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr2e Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 wanted to stay a little economical so i use most of the same components for minor as i do for major. they are: 124gn montana gold cmj 5.3gn silhouette federal small pistol 1.115" oal shoot this out of my cz shadow. pf is a little lower than most would feel comfortable, 127+, but pistol works fine and load is accurate. might go .1gn more but like i always say, "if it ain't broke why fix it".

WizardOI Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) I just started loading and Ive loaded up a whole 600 rounds of 9mm using 147gr FMJ Horndays over 4.8gr of HS-6 and I think the OAL = 1.120 or 1.125 IIRC (my friend loads the same load I do so I dont remember the exact OAL). I have yet to figure PF as I dont have a crono and neither do my friends who are helping me load on their dillion 550. This load runs great in my G19. It took out every piece of steel I hit the first time at the Pro-Am Champ. match this past weekend at USSA. ETA: Im also using federal small pistol primers as I got a deal on them for $100 for 5k Edited July 30, 2008 by WizardOI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lugnut Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 For now this is what I use. I've used quite a bit of Power Pistol but the bark is harsher than this load. 124gr Berrys DS RN 4.5gr W231 1.130 COL WSP Mixed brass Works good out of my G34 and I get just under 1100 ft/s.

Jman Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'm liking a 147gr Rainier plated FP over 3.4 grains of TiteGroup in my G17. Whatever costs the least feels the best. Most of the components listed above were birthday gifts. The load feels pretty frigin' good. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outsider Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I down-loaded my 9mm Major round to Minor and it works fine: 125gr Zero 5.9gr HS6 1.15OAL I chronoed it on my Chrony at 1050 fps out of my stock G34 barrel. Any less powder than that and it won't eject the brass all the way out of the gun. This is probably due to 1.15OAL versus 1.12OAL. It still has more flip than AAA 9mm production ammo, but at least I don't have to change any settings on my press (except for the powder charge) to go from Minor back to Major - ok I'm lazy.
