a little help with reloading some 9mm

1chig · December 3, 2010, 10:04 AM

I purchased some hornady 124gn. hp.xtp the other day because they were cheap. I usually load 115 gn hp xtp usinng bullsey powder for my 9mm. I was looking in my load book and it doesnt list any loads for bullsey for this bullet. I would like to use this powder because i have a lot of it. Does anyone have a load for this or should i get some different powder?

Lyman 49th has 3.9 to 4.5 Bullseye for a 125 gr JHP, OAL- 1.075.
Alliant shows 4.4 gr Bullseye as max for a 124 gr Speer GDHP, OAL- 1.120.
Hope this helps a bit. You should take a peek at a Hornady Manual if you get a chance.

My 9 mm load map manual lists a starting load of 3.4 gr and a max of 4.1 using Remington brass and a Winchester small pistol primer.COL is listed at 1.135 in.
