Does anyone know the recipe for 138 gr. 9mm using alliant power powder? Seems a little difficult to find .

Try Alliant's website, there's lots of loads on it.

The bullet (Frontier?) isn't a common weight, so frankly you are going to have to guess.

In your shoes I'd try to find data for the 147gr plated or lead bullets and your powder. and start from there.

While reloading manuals are a valuable resource, in the end you are always using the S.W.A.G method.

scientific wild assed guess....

Hey dogman where ya getting the 138 grain bullets? Home cast?

PP likes lots of pressure to burn clean, I had issues with 125gr hard cast either leaving a lot of powder residue or pushing them way WAY too fast... Try bullseye if your looking for economy.

E-mail alliant they will send you the data within a couple of days. Be sure to include what components you are using.

I ask because if they are the 138 to 140 grain bullets I think they are, they are .357 in dia. They can be resized down to .356 for 9mm. If not carry on.
I'm not familiar with that powder though.

some 130gr loads VV powder seems popular. Reduce these by 5% or so and you'll be in the ballpark
