I Loaded up Some 115gr 9mm Xtreme Heavy plate concave base with 4.1-4.2 grains of Tight Group with a COL of 1.135 using Winchester brass & primers.

I plan on taking them to the range tomorrow and see how they do. I was curious if anyone else is loading these or something close to this combination? I got the Data from Speers reloading #14 I don’t yet have a chronograph.

Any thoughts & opinions welcomed.
 
I use a similar loading with 115 RMR plated bullets. Not the same but maybe similar enough to be helpful. I got good function from everything I shot them in. 4.2 to 4.3g titegroup cycled gen 4 G19, G26, an old smith wesson, taurus millennium, and JUST cycled a NEW XD. I think the XD will function better with that load once fired a few times.

Load seems accurate enough and shot to sites, so no complaints here!
 
I use the xtreme 115gr. hollowpoint version at 4.2gr. of titegroup. My OAL (1.08") is shorter because of the hollowpoint design, but your seating depth should be essentially identical. I chronographed 4.4gr.in my P-10c and it was right at max. so backed it down to 4.2gr. I haven't had a chance to chronograph 4.2gr., but it's safe and accurate for me.

Titegroup loads with 115gr. plated or jacketed bullets are pretty popular at 4.0-4.2gr.

Yeah I shot them today plenty accurate & cycled well low recoil. Have to load some more and compare it to a CFE Pistol load I’ve been using.
 
I've got a CFE-P load I like using the Berry's 115RN; I'm sure it will work equally well with xtremes. It's a hotter load, more velocity and similar (which is to say excellent) accuracy as my titegroup/xtreme 115HP load. The feel is somewhat different and a touch more violent, but both are very shootable to me. I find CFE-P is its best right at max where titegroup is more flexible in loading while catering to a lower velocity range due to its faster burn rate.
 
Got a chance to chronograph today and ran my 115gr.Titegroup load. I pulled 10 at random from a 200 round production run. Charges as dropped by Auto Drum. I didn't do rested accuracy testing, but it's a lot more accurate than I am. One of the more accurate loads in the gun used.

Thanks for the update... I've got about 1.5# of TiteGroup I'm trying to burn up, and the 9mm looks like a good way to do it.
 
No problem. Yes, it's great for milder 9mm loads. You can press it harder to the 4.4gr. max charge and ~1150fps but the accuracy suffers. I've been trying it in 38 special and there may be potential there too.
