After taking the reloading class from Andrew at Profire Arms I have been accumulating the necessary equipment to start reloading. I am starting out reloading 9mm, and I would like to develop a load for FNS and IDPA. I have purchased xtreme 147gr plated round nose bullets and titegroup powder. When I purchased the bullets I was told to use 3.6 gr of titegroup, as per the Hodgdon manual. However, that number is for FMJ bullets and I thought that data for lead bullets should be used when loading plated bullets. My Lyman manual just arrived and its lead data says to start at 2.5 gr with a max of 2.8 gr.
Do any of you use 147gr plated bullets with titegroup? If so, what do you suggest for OAL and powder amounts?
Thanks in advance!
