9mm Carbine recipes?

Titegroup & CFE Pistol are my go to pistol caliber powders. H110 is better suited for big magnum bullets like 44 mag. I'm not sure I've ever talked to anyone using a slow burner like that for 9mm
 
Was waitin for the Gand to show up- listen to the Ganderite I use both of his powders for my nin s
 
As has been said, I wouldn't worry about it much unless you're planning to hunt with your PCC.
There won't be enough gains to really worry about it and if you just want to be able to play with the gongs at longer ranges I was hitting a 200 yard gong with my gen 1 Vector (45ACP) with iron sights fairly consistently once I figured out the holdover. It's not nearly as much as I was expecting it to be but I'm sure the energy left past 100 yards would not be sufficient for hunting purposes. The BC on pistol bullets is going to limit them to shorter ranges unless you really get the velocity up. I think I'll try some of the HS-6 I've got sitting in the drawer next, I just finished prepping another 1000 brass and have a couple thousand projectiles on the shelf so... :)
 
Reloaders love a challenge don’t they?
Pistol Caliber Carbines do quit well with standard reloads for your 9mm pistols. Upping the ante by cramming large quantities of slower powder in a 9mm case & compressing the load has few advantages. Plus you now have to buy different powder.

Safe reloaders know that just increasing their standard load by a few tenths of a grain or a grain more will achieve the desired results. For example: I like PCC Hanging Clays competitions. Yes, you can hotrod your 9mm to faster velocities but I have seen plenty of pcc 9mm hot round just punch a nice hole in the clay pidgeon rather than shatter it. Faster isn’t always better.....
 
I have a colt RO634 9mm rifle 10.24' barrel

I use Bullseye cant recall grains right now and 115 grn roundnose bullet found it functions 100% and shoots where I want it too
 
Had my FX-9 out with the chronograph and my 124gr over 4.1 Titegroup, they were around 1245fps. I still need to run them through the Glock to see how much the two barrel lengths differ in velocity though.

probably not going to notice much difference there because Titegroup is a fast powder. you need to try slower powders. Those, combined with a long tube and full pressure loads will give noticeable results

I shoot the same load with 124gr plated RN
It gets just under 1100 from my 4.5" Glocks.
About 1080 IIRC
 
Have you thought about using 9mm major data like IPSC shooters use? I used to load 9mm for my open pistol using shotgun powder like HS-6. Was getting 1400+ FPS. If a 2011 9mm pistol chamber can handle the pressure I wonder if a PCC rifle chamber can to.
 
Tested some cast powder coated 135gr TC sized @.357”. 4.0 to 4.1gr Titegroup came out 11.5” bloop tube @ 1325fps. Going to back them down a bit too much pressure for my liking but functioned well and plenty accurate. Penetration testing was hella further then regular 125gr 9mm I’ve got on hand.
