Ok,
I loaded up some of my first 9mm yesterday. CCI primer, Power Pistol powder, Remington bulk 124gr JHP bullet, Midway once fired brass.
Couldn't find any recipe for that particular load. After looking at several sources and mic. measure remington umc store bought load, I seated bullet to 1.078. Power Pistol at 6.0 grains.
Paper with the Lee dies stated a 124 copper plated bullet with oal at 1.15 using Power Pistol at start load of 6.0 grains.
Alliant states a load with 125 FMJ at 6.6 grains powder and 1.15 oal.
Sierra states 125gr. JHP with power pistol oal 1.075 with 5.7 maiximum load.
I shot the 10 rounds loaded. Good cycling of gun, no noticable pressure problems showed on case. Shot through Taurus pt111 Millenium stainless barrel.
My question is: will this recipe be safe? Again Midway once fired brass, Remington bulk (not Sabre) bullets seated to 1.078, CCI primer, 6.0 Power Pistol powder.
I've never loaded for 9mm before and am under the impression that it is easy to build to much pressure fast on these loads. Just want to make sure I'm not going to be missing a hand or worse if I continue loading this recipe.
Thanks guys!
