HELP. NEED INFO ON CAMPRO bullets and POWER PISTOL POWDER

[sgt.rock]

Hi, bit of a dilemma here. My friend has borrowed my reloading books and I don't know when I'm gonna see them again. He just left town for a family emergency and I don't expect him back in less than a month.
I just recieved my order of CAMPRO bullets and want to start reloading for my 9mm and 45acp.
They are 124gr and 230gr respectively. POWER PISTOL is the only pistol powder I have and there is no where within 1500km to buy any. So Power Pistol it will have to be.
What safe start loads would I need for both 9mm and 45acp?
I am loading for a Luger and a Sig P250 in 9mm and a Norinco Commander 45acp.
I have thousands of mixed brass for both and winchester primers. PLEASE SHARE YOUR LOADS (including the OAL you find best)
THANK YOU GUYS/GALS

Beuller? Anyone?

As per Modern reloading:

230Grain Jacketed Bullet 45ACP - Power Pistol
Start Grain 6.7, never exceed 7.2

Zip nothing nada for Power pistol & 9mm.

^^^^^^ this. I dont understand why people still use books.

These are plated bullets. Can jacketed data be used? Or is it lead bullet data?

Thanks inner city for the link. I wonder is 6.0 gr safe to start with using the 124grain plated?

Thanks inner city for the link. I wonder is 6.0 gr safe to start with using the 124grain plated?

I would start at 5.5gr and work up from there for a 124gr bullet using power pistol.

Power Pistol is awesome for 9mm.

I've loaded much hotter than this with other plated bullets, but I got to try Power Pistol with 124gr Campro HP last week, 5.6gr gives you a nice reliable mild load. I think OAL was ~1.125".

 

[Parts]

Campro provides some load data.
I got load data from the website where I purchased my bullets. FOC.
These may be hot loads for some powders.

Always found I needed a FIRM crimp with power pistol running 9mm berrys or she got dirty really fast...

Don't recall the charge weight tho but looks like others have covered that.
