Favorite 9mm Missouri Bullet

[ihavethetools]

I'm wanting to start reloading lead bullets and i was wondering what is your favorite bullet from them. Looking at 9mm only. Seeing if i can get a feel as to the most loaded and accurate bullet. Thanks for any thoughts and experience loading them.

Parabellum.

No complaints, though I've tried other brands of similar bullets and had satisfactory results with those too.

I like various Missouri bullets in 9mm/40S&W/45ACP but the one that stands out is the 45ACP 200 gr SWC in 12 BHN (Bullseye #1).

When harder 18 BHN 200 gr SWC (IDP #1) bullet sized .452" would not produce accuracy and leaded the barrel of PT145 due to oversized factory barrel, Bullseye #1 came to the rescue! The softer bullet base deformed well with 5.0 gr of W231/HP-38 and even with lighter charge of 4.0 gr Promo to produce accurate target loads without leading.

So instead of having different sized bullet loads, I can have one sized bullet loads that work in Sig 1911, M&P45 and PT145!

If you shoot lighter target loads in 200 gr SWC, 12 BHN Bullseye #1 is hard to beat.

I like the 125 gr SWC, 9Cone and the IDP #6. The #6 is listed as a 38 super bullet but it is sized .356 and works great in the 9 MM. I also like the 147 gr flat point. I probably get better accuracy from it than the others. They all shoot better than I can.
