Rifle primers may erode your breechface.
My XD cycles some of the time with that combination. My favorite load is a 115gr MT Gold over 4.8-4.9gr 231 at 1.135 or a 147gr MBC cast bullet over 4.8gr HS-6 at 1.078.Guys I'm loading a 115 grain hornady fmj over 4.3 grains of win 231 with once fired brass to start ill get some soon also using Winchester small pistol primers

Mike, could you elaborate a little on 9mm being more involved than 45acp.I've been reloading 9mm for a couple months, they are a little more involved then reloading the .45acp, but no big deal. I've used Berry's 124 RNHB and FNHB, prefer the Flat Nose. I've also tried LSWC's but my favorite are the moly's from Precision Bullets. I'm finding the 147FP's are a little more accurate then the 125FP's.
Powders include Bullseye and WSF. Get a couple reloading manuals if you don't already have them. A lot of good info on this site, but you might also try ammosmith:http://www.ammosmith.com/forum/
It is a little picky compared to .45 as far as finding accurate loads, but more importantly from a safety perspective it is a much higher pressure round in a smaller case, so how deeply the bullet is seated in the case makes a much larger difference in pressure increase. Potentially dangerous increases. One needs to follow OAL recommendations much more carefully.elaborate a little on 9mm being more involved than 45acp
