My plinker load is a 124 with N320, and I have a nice full power 124 Gr N340 full power load. N330 is awesome for middle of the road.You can't go wrong with Vihtavuori N320 and N340.

Promo, like RedDot, is in a great burn rate range for 9mm plinking. However, the flakes are so big that it rarely meters very consistently.I’m back to reloading 9mm also but all I have for powder are shotgun powders. Green dot 8 lbs, Promo 16 lbs,and 6 pounds of Unique. I’ve used all of them before except Promo which is just a replacement for Reddot. I’ll start at 4gr and work up from there. I’ll be using 124 rnb.
This past Friday at the indoor range testing .40S&W loads at the 25yard line. I had a far left flyer. Very disappointed but not surprised. I really can’t see the sights and target too good. Not at the same time anyway. Then I counted holes. There was one too many. Then I checked hole size and realized the person in the lane next to me shooting the 9mm put a hole in my target. I thought about saying something. Then realized the hole they added wasn’t the flyer.Looks like it, darn powder made that one shot low
(I usually go with the target moved due to wind excuse myself)
Silhouette is good stuff in 9mm IMO.
Thank youSilhouette is crap in 9MM.

While shooting this target many years ago, the wind folded the paper over and the fifth shot went through the back of the target & through the group. I stopped, stapled the left side of the paper (I always staple all four corners now), and shot the last two rounds. The group is so good (One ragged slightly over caliber hole) that one believes me, but I was there. Can't find the pic right now.I had a far left flyer. Very disappointed but not surprised.

Oh, no. That's not what I meant to infer. Promo or RedDot will be fine in a SDB as long as you...Thanks for all of the great feedback. I really appreciate it.
Seems like finding the 9mm setup for my Dillon SDB is going to be as hard as finding loaded ammo!
I agree with your powder selection, also....I prefer coated over plated. SNS, Bayou, BlueBullets, etc..
That's good to know. When some #2 shows up around here, I'd like to give it a try.I use plated bullets for my 380, 38 sp, and 9mm reloads. The powders I use are all fast pistol (Bullseye, Red Dot etc). Of the powders I’ve tried, Accurate #2 is the cleanest burning powder I’ve used so far. The cases hardly look like they need to be cleaned afterwards. It leaves the gun relatively clean as well compared to some of the other powders.
I like #5 and think it's pretty clean too. I have used #5 #7 #9 but yet to try #2.I use plated bullets for my 380, 38 sp, and 9mm reloads.
