9mm carbine load data

[fordfarmboy]

I have a hi point 9mm carbine that I want to load 124gr jhp ,for powder I will be using is hp38/231. The book I have is for 4” barrel data ,the carbine is 16” .

So, 4x the barrel = 4x the powder, right?

DON'T DO THIS^

Ha! ha!

I have no clue where to find the information you seek, but you might try the Hodgdon handloaders website.
It has a plethora of load data.
Don't know if it has 9mm carbine data or not.

Older Lyman manuals had 9mm rifle data in them.

51st edition does as well

Just do a ladder starting at the low end and see but probably not going to be way off. You may get some higher velocities but it's not like you'll be way off pressure wise.

Lyman manual , I will try to find someone with one so I can look
Thanks

Get yourself this if you want some load data for a 9mm carbine. Post above shows data you requested but this will give options from 95gr to 147gr for a 16" barrel

Where does one get a 16" Bartel,

Oh, and what's a Bartel?

Thanks GG I will compare that to my old lee book.

longer barrels normally take to slower powders i bet Blue Dot or AA#7

I didn't test the powder you're asking about, but here's a few loads I tested back to back thru a 4" barrel and a 16" barrel.

124gr Coated .......4.0gr Sport Pistol.....4"=1078fps.......16"=1165fps
124gr plated .......5.7gr Power Pistol....4"=1138fps........16"=1463fps
124gr fmj .......6.0gr AA#5.................4"=1025fps.......16"=1311fps
124gr fmj .......7.5gr AA#7.................4"=1093fps.......16"=1346fps

I got very similar results with plated,coated, and fmj projectiles in 115gr....always a nice velocity increase thru the longer barrel, with Power Pistol generally giving me the largest increase percentages.

I use HS6 for my 9mm loads. I developed them primarily for handgun, but my 9mm carbine loves them. It sees significant velocity increases from the slower powder in the longer barrel (about 200 FPS). Most commercial defensive ammo is optimized for shorter barrels and shows little if any increase in velocity out of the carbine.
