124 gr plated 9mm recipe

[87iroc]

Looking for input on 124 gr Xtreme Plated bullet recipe.

I found a couple recipes in a search using Unique which isn't a problem as I have a couple pounds...but would prefer a load for W231 or Titegroup as I have more of that.

Anyone have any?

Other powder options I have are Red Dot and Power Pistol...

I have the Lee Loading Manual and the Lyman. I looked over on Handloads.com and found a couple. Seems like the majority of the 124 loads I see are for Vitorouri<sp?> powder in my Lee manual.

Thanks,

hodgdonreloading.com has recipe's for both win231 and titegroup.

Since there is no lead bullet data for that weight of bullet, as always, just start towards the lower end and work up. Find something that groups well and feels good and stick with it.

I load 124gr. Xtreme Round Nose with 4.3 gr. of HP-38. COL=1.150. HP-38 is Hodgdon's version of W231.

I load 124gr. Xtreme Round Nose with 4.2 gr. of Tightgroup. COAL 1.160 This works well for my Glock 17 and XD MOD2

My latest recipe is loading 124-gr X-treme HP with 4.5 gr of CFE pistol to a COAL of 1.120.

Using 3.8gr Titegroup @ 1.125, just enough crimp to remove bell.

5.7 gr HS-6 1.15 OAL

YMMV

Currently I am loading 124 gr HP Rainier's at 1.120" with 4.2 gr of Titegroup.

 

[DIRTROAD]

4.2 titegroup also works well

124gr Xtreme with 4.6gr Titegroup OAL 1.140 if you like a little hotter load

I have worked up a wildcat round with this exact bullet that I am very happy with. Using Clay Dot which is $140 for an 8lb jug. Very cheap, very clean, and meters very well outta my Dillon.

These were very consistant.

Clay Dot is a new powder on the market that is trying to be a substitute for original Clays since they are outta business for a while now. No load data available yet so anything you do with this will be a wildcat round.

I ;ove everything about this powder so far.

What gun are you shooting these out of? Do they cycle ok at those speeds?

My latest recipe is loading 124-gr X-treme HP with 4.5 gr of CFE pistol to a COAL of 1.120.

I'm trying to work up my new loads, the Hogdon web manual says 4.9min, 5.9max. 1.150" C.O.L.

 

[Fuzz]

4 guns actually, !911, Walther PPQ, CZ spo1, LC9s, Canick TP9sa. Ooops thats 5.

No issues cycling and this is designed to meet the minimum power factor for USPSA.

I just bought my first reloading press(Lee Classic turret) and am loading the 124gn plated HP w/ 5.5gn Accurate No. 5, Winchester SPP, and COAL length from 1.125" to 1.130". Gonna test them them out this Friday through my Sig P320 Compact.

 

[87iroc]

Since this came back up. I settled on 4.0 grains titegroup set to 1.120 COAL. At about 1500 rounds loaded so far. 3.8 works ok too. Shooting from my M&Ps n

After running some over the chrono using CFE Pistol this is what I settled on.
