105 gr 9mm Frangible 2nds... Where should I start?

[KruppJr]

I purchased a box of 105gr .355 Frangible seconds. I have some DO32 powder. Any thoughts on a powder charge for a practice/plinking load and overall length? Very little data on this combination.

Probably won't have any luck finding listed data for that combo. Usually the Frangibles tend to be long for their weight.
OAL depends on what will plunk in your guns.
Data for a 115 should be safe.

I was thinking D032=Clean Shot=AA#2 but I may be mistaken, double check this, I am getting senile in my old age
If DO32=AA#2 Western lists loads for 100gr SFIRE frangible

Shooter World lists Data for the Sinterfire 100


Good range for Clean with the Sinterfire 3.8 to 5.1, I would be tempted to start at 3.8gr and work up from there. Your bullet is a hair heavier than 100gr but 3.8 to start should be ok.

My 9mm pistols all seem to be ok with a 100gr bullet at about 1050 so you may not get 100% function with start charges. I don't know how far you have to go to shoot but
I would load up some (say maybe 5 or 10) at 3.8, 4, 4.2 and see if that gets you there.

Interesting difference between the AA#2 data and the Shooters World data, but I would think 4.2 should be safe. (but I would not start there)

I have never used this data, powder or bullet so just suggestions.......
