9MM Loads for Target Shooting

Forest813 · March 15, 2006, 10:52 PM

What are the minimum and maximum loads I can use for reloading 9MM with 125 gr lead RN and Bullseye powder for indoor range? Is 4.7 grains the max?
Your comments are appreciated.

Hi There!

Please bookmark the following webpage: http://recipes.alliantpowder.com/rg....evolver&step=1

It's the Alliant Powder online loading manual. It lists 4.9 gr of Bullseye is max for a 125gr FMJ.

As always, start 10% below that number when working up a load.

My Lyman shows 3.7-4.4 grains of Bullseye. IME, you'll get the best accuracy with the lightest loads that will reliably function. Also, ime, you'll get better accuracy with .357 or .358 bullets than with the more commonly suggested .356.
