Anyone Want a 9MM Recipie?

In short;
Hornaday 9MM 124GR FMJ/FP's .355 encapsulated
4.1 GR of Win 231
Federal primers
Set to OAL 1.112
Just enough taper crimp so that the cartrige contacts the die & leaves a barely noticeable shine ring.

Snappy and crisp, but not overbearing, plenty to properly cycle my wife's Glock 34 - chucks the brass at a good 4 O'clock. Tight grouping (5" barrel helps) Just barely subsonic (according to my friend with a chrono). Leaves no charring on the case and shoots clean. Of course, guns vary and barrels build up different measurements, but this seems well in range while having enough to know you're shooting a 9'er.
Just offering in case anyone is interested.
