9mm load data using W231 and Clays

[PharoH]

Just looking for some 9mm load data using these 2 powders. Bullet is a 124gr montana gold fmj. Power factor of 130ish would be perfect.

Use the 125 grain jacketed data on Hodgdon's site. 4.4 to 4.8 of W321. One grain difference won't matter.

what about the OAL for these three bullets??

i shoot standard, but you can always check out the hodgdon reloading data center

While not the same bullet weight I have used 4.9 of 231 with any good jacketed 115 for over 20 years-works out quite well.Will

yes if possible with the load data if you could include your o.a.l. that would be perfect,

If you use Clays then go to the reloading tables. LOOK UP THE BULLET LENGTH they use and compare it to the length of the bullet you are using. Seat your bullet so that the base of your bullet is in the same location as the bullet in the published table. Do not just go by OAL.

Clays is a very fast powder and interior case volume makes a HUGE difference, especially since getting a 130 PF using Clays is a max load.
