Win 115hp, 5.0 w231 or hp38, wsp primer. X1 fired mixed cases, 1175fps. I tipicaly buy nickel cases so I don't have to deal with mil cases and primer crimps much. Also case capasity is much more consistant without the mil cases mixed in. I have loaded a lot of wcc cases sorted out by them selves. I am not concerend about pressuer so much as consistancy. I bell and crimp very little. I run the size die one full turn off the plate and finish up with a Lee fcd. If any one can beat this load for the money and simplicity I wana try it.

Zero 147 JHP in Win cases, WSP primer and plain Clays powder. Nothing shoots softer, and has been very accurate for me in a couple guns. Clays is all I load in target 9mm anymore, soft and clean while still being very accurate.

147gr XTP on top of 4.2 grains of WSF or 3.5 grains of Universal Clays. What gun are you trying to feed?

Cheap Ranier plated bullet (115gr.) on top of 5.6gr. Unique. CCI primer.

the pistol that I am loading for is a glock 17L.

That gun can actually do 1" @ 25 with good ammo. I've been told that 6 grains of Power Pistol behind a 124gr. XTP will shoot 1" at 50 from a match gun, so that one is worth trying too.

115gr FMJ Montana Gold + 5.3gr Winchester Super Field = 1,140 fps and accurate.

124gr FMJ + 4.9gr WSF = 1,070 fps

124gr FMJ + 4.6gr Universal = 1,100 fps.

124gr FMJ + 4.1 N-320 = 1,050 = very accurate and clean.
