Zero bullets- 9mm Load data

Any body have load data for Zero Bullets? I picked up some 115gr HPs, I'm thinking of using 1.115-1.110. If I leave my press set for FMJ, it runs the HPs down to 1.070. If your using these bullets, where do you set your oal? I'll be loading Power Pistol.

Ignore the book OAL figures, just load them so they reliabaly feed through your magazine and still shoot good.

First of all, what caliber? If 9mm, I load them to 1.15 over 4.8gr of buyllseye with good results. Same length with the 115 gr hp's.

My CZ75 9mm, has a very short distance to the rifling, and a mocked up cartridge hits the rifling at 1.125 with these HPs. I usually back off .010 from that measurment. I'll probably wait and call the Zero tech line, seeing they don't post any data.

I shot some Zero 125 Gr JHP's (.356 - really intended for .38 Super) in a couple of nines. I loaded it at 1.080 and it fed just fine. I did not work up a load with them. I was just curious how they would do in the nine.

I have had real good luck with Zero bullets. My Witness Elite Match loves the Zero 165 Gr JHP. My .45's shoot the 185 and 230 Gr Zero JHP's real well too. The affore mentioned 125 Gr .356 JHP's shoot real well in my Springfield .38 Super. I just tried them today with a couple of mild loadings. Keeping a ragged 2 bullet diameter hole at 7 yards two handed was fairly easy. I have no dought the 115 JHP's will shoot well in the 9 as well. Zero definitely makes a good bullet.
