Looking for people that reload X Metal 9mm 124/125 round nose ammo. I am shooting out of an M&P9 M2.0

Looking for some info:

1)C.O.L.
2)Powder Brand
3)Grain min & max (you have tried)
4)Primer Brand




I have 100 samples of each and want to reload them now just to test. If you have NOT loaded this ammo please do not reply. I am looking for people that HAVE successfully reloaded this bullet.

Thank you all.
 
I loaded up ~300 for a match. I found the weight of the projectile to be all over the place: some were 124gr, some were 3-5 gr lighter. I never found that to be the case with Ares bullets, but I can't find them anymore. But at 1/2 the cost of Zeros, I can afford to set aside the inconsistent ones I suppose....

Haven't done much testing, but just stayed with what I've been loading for 3 years or so.

Powder: Titegroup
Grains: 3.5
COAL: 1.10"
Primer: S&B or CCI. Don't notice any difference.
 
To anyone interested. I have found that loading this ammo using Lead bullet data from the Lee book works great. Going off previous threads and people saying how horrible this ammo is, I just don't find that to be the case. Once you find what powder amount and primers your handgun likes, it shoots great. I test all my loads using 3 different primers and you will be a big different.

1)1.140
2)Powder: CFE Pistol
3)Grain: 4.5gr
4)Primer: WSP (best) - also tested Federal and CCI. WSP grouped the best @ 10 yards, 9/10 shots within 2" out of M&P9 2.0

~~
extra note:

I found that for my M&P9, If I shoot Campro, it likes Federal primers the best, and for Berry's and X Metal, WSP the best.
