Need AutoComp Load Data

frjeff · November 9, 2009, 06:29 PM

Have a bunch of Hornady 9mm 115gr FMJ bullets and a pound of Winchester AutoComp.

I'm having difficulty finding load data for this (probably because it is a relatively new powder).

Anyone have any available loads for this powder and bullet combo?. I have found some loads for jacketed hollow points, but am new and not sure this would be the same for FMJ.

Or, will donate this pound for some 231, HP-38, Bullseye or Titegroup.

Start with the 115gr Speer Gold Dot HP load. The only change I would make would be to use a longer COL than listed (1.125"). I'd try 1.135" or 1.140".
