I have a Ruger SR9 and the Taurus PT708 Slim. I had loaded some 9mm loads of Bullseye 4.2g with a 124/125g Lrn 6 mths ago. I had used an OAL of 1.130. These loaded rds (20ea) got stuck every time in the Taurus and 1 out of 3-4 rds in the SR9. (Of note, they worked well in a Beretta 92 which I originally loaded them for.)
I stopped shooting and came home to check this stuff out. I used the Lyman 24 edition but it doesn't list a 124 or 125g load. I went to the new Serria manual and again nothing. I believe I used and OAL from FMJ at 124g.
I became frustrated when my Remington HD rds load ever so nicely in both pistols but it is an HP rd with an OAL of 1.122. Yep diff than a 125g LRN
I disassembled both wpns to check the seating at the breech area. To get the 125g LRN to fit "flush" in the breech with the two knobs (dealy-bobs) on the part of the breech area, I had the reduce the OAL 1.130 to 1.076.
I question the amount of Bullseye (4.2g) powder with an OAL of 1.076..... Is it going to be too powerful to safely shoot. SOME HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
Or, are there some "Closet"Taurus PT709" shooters out there that can give me some safe data for Bullseye or W231 with a 9mm 125g LRN. How about for the Ruger SR9 too.
