So a while back I locked up my 24/7 with 6.4 gr of Power Pistol under a 124gr XTP at 1.150. I was using regular JHP info. Since then, I got a Hornady Manual and a One Caliber book and see that Hornady has a max of 5.7gr at 1.060 for the 124gr XTP.
So.
I want to start using it with 115gr FMJ bullets and I'm paranoid about where to even start. From the one caliber book, we have these starting loads:
4.8gr 1.100 - Hornady
5.1 1.100 - Sierra
6.2 1.135 - Speer
For comparable velocities:
5.6 1.100 1100fps - Hornady
5.7 1.100 1100fps - Sierra
6.2 1.135 1122fps - Speer
And Alliant says:
6.7 1.120 1280fps - Alliant
I'll be using these in a Glock 26 and a Taurus 24/7 for casual plinking and target shooting. I'm not looking for +P+ 9mm Super Magnum rounds, but I hate it when loads don't cycle the action. I was considering 5.1gr at 1.130. What do you all think? Anyone have some loads they recommend? Thanks!
