9mm 124grn Campro HP and Winchester 231 Load

Reviving a few months old thread. I just got 1K of CamPro 124gr HP and did loads of Titegroup 4.2 with COL of 1.145. I found that 1.090 in Campro's site seems to be too short. I will be going to the range on 6/23 and will find out how the reloads shoot.

I found 1.090 cycled flawless. Functioned and shot well in my K100, 1911, Alfa, NP22, Glock. I haven't change the dies and run 124grn Xmetal at the same length. And 2000rds with only 3 primer issues, and 1 sizing issue.
 
Thanks for the reply. You used Titegroup as well?

Main concern for me is that Campro suggesting a OAL of 1.090, while my OAL is 1.145. i made a dummy round and cycled 6 dummy rounds in my three 9mm pistols and all manually cycled well. I don't want to cause excessive pressure especially at my 4.2gr of TG.

Range day is next week will give it a whirl. Unfortunately, I don't have a chrony to measure velocity.

I found cam pro chart a little weird. They say Start 4.4 to 4.8 For HP38/W231, Yet hodgdon says 3.9-4.4

Hodgdon says for 124 and TG 3.6 to 4.1. Where cam pro says 4.1 to 4.4

But doing some research on TG, you should be fine at 4.2

I ran 20 of my reloads thru 2 guns.

5" barrel ran Avg 1094 FPS, 4.3" Avg 1062 FPS. 3.8grn HP38, OAL 1.088, 124grn Xmetal.

Chrony some factory 115's and they were 1250 FPS for the 5" and like 1230FPS for the 4.3"
 
I've loaded about 25k of the 9mm 147s (3.4 gr of W231) over the past four years and find the accuracy completely acceptable for IPSC/IDPA. I've also used 2000k of the HP 124s (with 3.9gr of W231) for steel loads and found them plenty accurate.
 
Does this look normal for 4.2grn of HP38/W231 and a 124grn jacketed 9mm? I may try another chrony.

This was 4grn

Favorite load in my Sig & Glock.
4.2 of 231 w/ campro 124gr HP.

Looking for recommendations on powder for campro 147gr. Tried to load some 231 at anywhere from 3.1-3.6. None would cycle consistently, or shoot accurately in my Sig.
 
I run 4.0 gr HP38 (same powder) for PPC in my Nork NZ85; accurate and soft shooting. These loads are a bit too light to cycle my friends glock and anothers M & P; but I would start light and work up. For accuracy in PPC load as light as possible while maintaining consistent function. As far as primers go, what ever you can find; I have used CCI, Sellers & Bellott, Winchester ETC, all work fine.
 
I just got into reloading 9mm, and appreciate this old thread.

Lots of good stuff here - thanks for the chrony results.

I have loaded a bunch of Win231 under CamPro 124 for use in a Ruger PCC.

New loader here. Looking to get a nice shooting 147gr round for my Ruger PCC. I have some Campro 147gr on the way. Any suggestion for a load that will stay subsonic in the longer barrel but still reliably cycle?

Looking for low-recoil but not necessarily pushing the limits of "too-low", just used for steel plate shooting and maybe paper punching no further than 50m.

I'm left-handed and it's a blowback gun so hopefully nothing inclined to "spit" at me too much.

I do have load data from Hornady for a 147 gr FMJ for velocities from 700 fps to 1000 fps. Gotta figure 800 or 850 would still be subsonic even in the longer barrel.

I settled on 4.2 grains of W231 also. It cycles the carbine reliably and works well in the pistols too.
