i have some tightgroup powder and got some aim 124's to load my 9mm can't find any load data where to start at all.. and any other powder suggestions and loads would help too..
thanks
 
You could check out the Hodgdon website for some recipes. Off the top of my head I think I'm running 3.6 grains of Titegroup with Aim 124's. Check the site though. When in doubt, use cast bullet data for a plated bullet, which is usually a bit less than a comparable jacketed load IIRC.
 
I'd suggest starting a bit low at 3.8 grains to be safe and chrono to get your base-line. 4 to 4.2 grains does seem to be where most people end up, depending on what power factor you want to hit. But OAL and chamber dimensions are also variables to be aware so I'd always suggest erring on the side of safety. Once you have base-line chrono data, you can mathematically extrapolate what you load will have to be to make the power factor you want to achieve.
