reloading for the 1911 45ACP and

Sprinfield Armory xdm 9mm.

Hello all, new to the forum. I've been reloading rifle ammo since I was in my teens, but I've just started reloading for pistols in the past few months.

I've had to take what I could get to reload with as most of you probably have. Let me just tell you what I have and see if any of you have used any combo's of it.

I have Winchester Large pistol primers. Unfortunately, all I could find at the time for small pistol primers was Fiochi (sp?) lead free primers. They may be great primers, but I doubt many people have experience with them.

For powder I have Herco, Bullseye, and Titegroup to experiment with.

Bullet wise, for 9mm I have 124 gr Magtech FMJ and 124 gr Speer GDHPs.
For 45 I have 185 gr Nosler HP, 185 gr Speer GDHPs, and Rainier 230 FMJs.

I have various types of once fired cases.

Howdy and Welcome!

I would go to the powder company websites and see what they have for load data for the bullet styles you have/wish to reload.
I only do 40 S&W so sorry can not help with personal data.

yeah, i've already worked up some loads based on the manuals. just thought if anyone had used any similar loads by chance, i would not need to re-invent the wheel.
