9mm tmj data

[dodo bird]

Hello all just a quick dumb question. I have 100 115 grain tmj 9mm bullets I bought. Sorry I don't have the brand name. I have bullseye powder. My Lyman manual shows only 115 gr jacketed hp data. 3.5 gr starting load. Is this a safe data to use? If so length 1.169 max? Thanks

You can use the same load data. You'll have to play with OAL, as long as it chambers and fits in the magazine.

TMJ are Speer bullets. But, any data for 115FMJ will do nicely.

Thanks y'all I called up Alliant . They wouldn't tell me anything because I didn't know the exact name brand of the bullet.

I load 115gr X-Treme plated RN (TMJ) over 4.2gr of Bullseye @ 1.146. Before working up my load, I accumulated load data from 20-25 sources including manuals, bullet manufacturers, websites and forums. Based on this, I started at 4.1 and worked up to 4.6, arriving at 4.2 as the best load. Looking back at all of the data, this seems to pretty much be the "sweet spot" for OAL in this vicinity.
