Hello, I just got everything I need to start reloading. I am using titegroup and DRG 125g RN 9mm bullets which are .6125" long to load 9mm luger. I've checked the chart on the hodgdon website and i'm not sure what data i should use. if someone knows how many grains and C.O.L. value, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bill

4.4 - 4.6 grains unique works well. you can go up to 5.0 and it will be more snappy.
set OAL to the highest point where it will fit your mags and fall freely in your barrel chamber, just dont exceed max OAL
 
"...what data I should use..." If they're jacketed, use the 125 grain SIE FMJ data. The 125 grain LCN data for cast bullets.
Load for the bullet weight and whether or not it has a jacket. Who made 'em doesn't matter. Plated bullets use cast data. Plated bullets are not jacketed.
 
Very Energetic

Titegroup is a very energetic powder. Some say it is close to the same burning rate as BULLSEYE.
For my money, I would not use either but some people I know have had some success with Titegroup in 9mm. A very nice target load, less than 1050 FPS would be around 3.5 grains. Should you need a little more velocity, you could go to 3.8. I would NEVER go over 4 grains. Just too hot. Why punish your gun for target loads?

A good load is 4 gr of WW231 loaded to 1.125"

sounds about right i load the 135 drg with 3.9 of 231 and get right on about 1000 fps. the 1.125" length feeds well in a hp, an m&p, a cz75 and a p38 i have tried it in and is very close in length to most factory ammo.

my 2 cents

ps 231 is generally available evrywhere and is ussually pretty cheap - also not 231 and hogden hp-38 are the same powders in different lables.
 
I'm currently using 3.8 grains of Titegroup with Cactus Plains 124 grain cast bullets.
