Anyone know where to find reloading data for DRG 9mm bullets in 135 grain?

Im using Hodgdon HS6 powder, and cant find any load data for 135 grain in 9mm using this powder.

Thanks,
 
Thanks for the info. Ive reloaded 115, 124 and 147 graing from Hornady, but I bought these 135 grains in bulk.

I've tried to judge based on my 124 & 147 grain loads, but I thought I'd see if anyone else had used this bullet/powder combo. Would there be a way to estimate velocity without any published info based on powder charge? I'm looking for a certain power factor. (Trying to cut down on trial and error for time/scheduling issues)
 
go to hodgdon's website for load data, http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp


using HS-6 they have a 130 gr bullet
start
5.9gr 970FPS 28,300 PSI

max
6.5gr 1097FPS 31,800 PSI

i would use that and adjust accordingly, with a chrono if you want exact numbers.

obviously at your own risk blah blah blah.

I would start 10% - 15% below the minimum suggested load. Do five rounds, Set OAL by dropping your load into the barrel, make sure it sits flush and will fit into your magazine. Work your way up 0.3 gr - 0.5 gr doing 5 rounds until you achieve your desired load. If you are shooting IPSC, use a chrono to check your Velocity/PF.
