Thanks to everyone who replied. I am going to go with the load data hodgdon has, 3.9 of tightgroup as a starting point. Any other tips on reloading 9mm or other pistols as this is my first time reloading for pistols. If all goes well 40 S&W next.....
9mm load data needed
- Thread starter mb5200
- Start date
I load many pistol calibers. I pick a powder, start low and make a batch in .3 grn incrments. I test for accuracy. Each gun seems to have its own favorite powder charge and bullet.
I keep a log and note if the mild ones are 100% reliable for function.
if you don't have 115 gr data, use the 120 data.
Titegroup is fast. A small change can have a big result. I prefer IMR7625. meters well, is slower and bulky. A middle range speed powder.

Not with lead bullets. Get a case wall that is near the high end of the limit and the FCD will swage the bullet, resulting in a very loose fit in the case.Factory crimp die is your friend....
