I just loaded & tested some 115 grn plated bullets in the 9mm, 92fs. I posted some results on the other "FTE" post. Anyway I used 4.2 grns of H Tightgroup & it cycled great & the speeds are listed on the other post. The Hodgdon site has some info with the lead bullets & that's what I used. I also had some loads with win 231 powder, they were low & didn't cycle great & the fps was slow. I'm sure if I upped the charge that powder would be fine. Win 231 gets good reviews for the 9mm.

I used 1.09 col with the 4.2 tightgroup & 115 grn plated bullets.
