Need 140gr 9mm load

[RT]

Ive got some 140gr cast swc 9mm bullets. Ive got 231, bullseye and some Titegroup on hand. Anyone have a load, or tried to load these before?

I've used 138gr bullets before but not 140gr...

Just use a max. charge for 147gr lead bullet; doubt you'll find any data for 140gr...

Ya thats what Im thinking!

I think starting at a max charge is a very bad idea.

I load 3.5gr 231 under 147's. Should work good to start and then work up from there.

Ya I figured he ment min charge.

I meant max chagre, but I didn't say work up from there...

Max charge for 147gr will be 100% safe with 140gr bullet! but I wouldn't go higher than 0.1-0.2gr.

I've had excellent results with a 140 gr SWC in my 92SB using 4.6 gr of HS-6 or W540. I have also tried Bullseye, Titegroup and 231 , but was getting the same results.
