Remember that you are working UP to a NATO type pressure. Never start at anything other than STARTING LOADS in your manual - its asking for problems. Every gun is different.

Use your manual as a guide for powder and primers. Both are worthless if you dont have load data for them.

I like Titegroup in 9mm as well as power pistol. 231 is a great powder but I prefer a faster burning powder in 9mm trying to run the heavy slides on my BHPs. Just personal preference.

If you goal is high pressure, you will be best served by a jacketed bullet. For general plinking, I use plated (Berrys Bullets) in 9mm.
