Looking for some advice on reloading for this 9mm. I've been shooting factory ammo without issue. My standard 9mm load is 3.8 of TG with 124gr campro. This has worked great in my SR9 and revolvers.

In my Beretta I'm getting feed jams. The spent casing ejects but the next round jams periodically. I increased the load from 3.8gr to 4.0 but still the same issue.

Just want to verify that I'm on the right path and should increase again or is something else going on?

Any load data would be appreciated.

Bump for this thread. Looking for other Beretta M9A3 recipes. My Glock 17 recipes just aren't translating well for the Beretta.

I use 4.1 Tg and campro and frontier 124's never had a issue. I cant remember my COAL length but is on the shorter side to work with my Trojan. I use a decent crimp. I load with A Dillon 650 XL
 
I have the same issue with the M9a3 . Shoots factory Ammo but have tried multiple reloads and they just jam. So just sticking with s&b 124gr for this one.
 
I have four Beretta's and load my 125gr Lead, FMJ & plated bullets at 1.1" OAL and they feed just fine. When you say jam do you mean the slide does not go into battery or the round won't run up into the chamber? The only other thing I can think of is you may not be guiding the odd bullet into the case vertically. I have on occasion, not done so and the bullet seats on a bit of an angle leaving a bulge on one side of the case and you get an instant jam.

Let us know how it all works out. Beretta 92's are normally jam proof given how the bullets feed into the chamber.

Your load at 3.9gr of Titegroup should run that gun just fine.

Take Care

I am running 3.9 of Titegroup at oal 1.130 with a 124 gr. FMJ. Crimp body less .001.Work in all 9 mm I tried it.

How do you resize your brass ? Are you sure you are removing the ‘bulge’ present on many once fired case -Glock are notorious to bulge brass - Are you using range brass ? Lee - Redding sell bottom sizing die. I use the special EGW - Lee die that go lower that standard brass sizer on my Dillon 650.

I use the same die for my 9 mm Major open gun and malfunction a near 0.
