Hey friends! I'm working up a recipe for 9mm Luger. My bullet is the Barnes XPD 115 grain copper hollow point. I am using Power Pistol. This bullet it not in any of my reloading guides. Since Barnes did not show Power Pistol, I gave them a call. They recommended a range of 4.4 to 5 grains with a COAL of 1.125. The Hornady guide shows up to 6 grains with a jacketed hollow point. I loaded up a few to try, but it seems very light to me. I plan to chrono this recipe and see how it works. Anyone work up a recipe for this combination using the CCI 500 primers?
