9mm ... 125gr. HAP and Vihtavouri

riverwalker76 · June 1, 2010, 09:33 AM

Has anyone here ever loaded the .356 dia. Hornady 125 gr. HAP bullet on top of Vihtavouri for competition? The reason I ask is ... Hornady doesn't have any information for it yet since it is a fairly new competition bullet, and neither does Vihtavouri.

Thanks for any help you might be able to lend me.

But I've used both 3N37 (for many years) and N350 in the 9x19 with numerous bullets of varied weights and construction.

More details?
Gun.
Components.
Goal.

Well it's a basic 9mm Beretta M9.

I will be using standard CCI small pistol primers.

I will basically be using the pistol for Bullseye shooting up to 50 yds.

Start: new sized cases, 5.6g 3N37, OAL minimum 1.130".

Can go higher in accuracy search; use .2g increments.

PS 'hot' Bullseye setup is the Hornady 121g over 6.0g Power Pistol
