I've shot several boxes of Freedom XTP new ammo in my Kahr CW9 and it works very well. Since I plan to reload 9mm for the first time shortly, I've begun
gathering data and noticed a lot of variance in the COL of HP and Jacketed.
The Freedom COL measured 1.064. Looking at various loading charts I see 1.090, .125 and .140 for jacketed HP.
The bullets I will be using are ZERO brand 115gr HP. I'm uncertain as to what
COL to use. Should I pull an XTP bullet and measure it against the Zero HP? Or perhaps seat the bullet long and use the plunk test to determine best COL?
I'm inclined to think a shorter COL would be best since the brass is
a mix of headspace and not trimmed.
Suggestions please.
