The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Quick Question About 9mm 95 Grain Montana Gold JHP Load Data?

Both the 1st and 2nd editions of Modern Reloading by R Lee have suggested load data for the 95 grain bullets in these calibers using Unique powder. What you will have to research and evaluate is the Overall Length (OAL) needed due to the HP construction of the MG bullet you have. Suggest you review the OAL differences listed between a 95g FMJ and the nearby listed 90g XTP which is a HP. Somewhere in that vicinity is a good number to begin making dummy rounds to verify chambering (and whether the bullet sets back or hits the rifling) and subsequent load development - starting at minimum charge.

Time to get out the sharpies and tools to do some cyphering
