Titegroup for 9mm + plated bullets question

zig mag roller · April 16, 2010, 08:35 PM

Trying to find some load data for a 9mm plinking round using TITEGROUP. I think I saw it in the Lyman reloading manual for a 124 grain, Lyman #2 lead round nose, with 3.2 grains of titegroup as a starting load. Can someone please confirm that for me? Thanks! Also guys, I picked up some Berry's plated bullets today (124 grain hollow bottom flat point), I've never used a plated bullet, do I treat it the same as a lead boolit or do I load it as a jacketed bullet - or maybe somewhere inbetween?

Thanks for your input yall.

I use a Berrys 115 gr plated bullet in 9mm. 4.5 gr. Titegroup. That might be much for a heavier bullet, but it's belo max.

I've used 4.2 grains of Titegroup under a 115 grn plated RN. It averaged 1087 fps. These loads cycled great in the 92.

I use the following with excellent results:

125 Grain Lead Round Nose 3.6 Grains TG 1.145 OAL
115 Grain Montana Gold JHP 4.3 Grains TG 1.105 OAL
115 Grain Gold Dot HP 4.5 Grains TG 1.125 OAL

These are the loads I started with and have not changed. The Gold Dots are a bit hotter for SP. The RN were given to me and I had to come up with a load and keep them a bit longer and it appears to work well.

What gun are you shooting these out of? I have been getting alot of keyholing at 3.8 grains and the same OAL

3.2 grains of titegroup and a berry's 147 grain at 1.160" makes a good load for IDPA/USPSA.
