I just loaded 3.8 gr of HP38, plated 147 gr AIM projectile, 1.115" OAL . My buddy is going to chrono it for me on Friday. I won't get a chance to try it in my own M&P 9 Pro until late Feb-early Mar; it's gathering dust in the safe while I wait for my ATT course.

I got this pistol lately and I found that the load I usually make for other pistols with shorter barrels is not as accurate in my 5" M&P.

I usually load my 9mm like this:

4.0 and 4.2 of Titegroup with 124 grains TMJ round nose Cam Pro bullets. Federal primers. I do some at 4.2 to pass the minimum PF required in certain matches.

OAL varies a little depending on what pistol I plan to use. My HK do like a shorter OAL for example.

But in general it is around 1.13". No crimp.


What you guys use and find accurate for this pistol?


Cheers.

I have no experience with 9mm but I've reloaded plenty of Cam-Pro bullets in .45ACP.

Check the length of the bullets with a micrometer to ensure there isn't too much variation in length.

I had a box last week that had nearly 0.020" variation from longest to shortest.
I typically find about 0.005" difference in a box.
This will wreak havoc on consistency.

Still haven't tried these in my M&P, but they chronoed at 900 ft/s out of a P226 today, which seems high.
