Some of the posted loads here are kinda unique while others pretty much by the book.
Anyways, since we're compiling a lot of useful 9mm recipes, I kinda compiled them in the attached file for easy reference. Mods may like to pin this if they find it helpful.

Caveat: I tried to abrreviate some of the notations & if I erred in the translation please PM me so I can correct any errors. Ditto with any loads therein.
As a usual precaution, these are loads specific to individual firearms & not to be construed as safe on yours. Use it at your own risk. YMMV

Be safe & always reference published data from manufacturers prior to use.

Im actually really excited about seeing this and super grateful you took the time to put this down and share with us. I am having trouble viewing the file...the image file looks a bit small/grainy and can't read the text.

This could absolutely be my fault so wanted to see if you had any suggestions for how to view this

I got it saved to my computer but still could not read it when enlarged.
My suggestion is that you PM him with your email address and have him send the spreadsheet to you.That would cure the problem.

[Sig556r]

Be glad to help.
Any of my attachments in a post seemed to be reduced in size (& fidelity).
My local drive jpeg copy is readable.
Already emailed a copy (jpeg & xls) to John McCorkle, hopefully he can post it.

I don't need it myself. I was just suggesting a way that he might be able to read it. Thanks for trying to help out.

I was having some problems with a bear around the place, he was a real nuisance, getting into my horse feed, I tried scaring him off, but that did not work. I ended up shooting the bear, not my first choice. One shot with my Ruger 9mm, 4.6 gr. BE and the Lee 125 gr. RNFP. I guess that makes that load my favourite for the 9mm.

Hey, sixpointfive, I don't remember the oal for that boolit. I originally bought that mold after seeing an article where it was used for .380acp. the case mouth was centered on the driving band. Bought it, shot it, liked it. I started loading it in .38 S&W.3 .380acp, and then the 9mm. At the time, I had a S&W 459 and have since shot it through 7 different makes of 9mm pistols and carbines.

I also bought the Lee 356-102-R which has been used in the 9mm,mostly in an AR15 carbine for lead savings. The 105-SWC did not feed so well in the AR15 but did in the Marlin Camp 9. I hope this helps

Anyone use accurate #7 with the 120 Lee what col and load would be safe ?

[GhostHawk]

Well I downloaded the file, expanded it using Irfanview and it was still unreadable.
Not that I need it, but slightly frustrating trying to help someone else and drawing a full blank.

I'm using 3.4 gns of 700x behind the cheapest 115 gn I can find for plinking. It cycles fine in the G19 and I have a bunch of it from my shotgun loading days, not the cleanest burning powder though.

[mdi]

5.5 gr. BR-5, 124 Gold dot, CCI primer, mixed brass. Used in Ruger LCs, FMK, Tokerev, and Masada...

I just consider threads like this as entertainment only. My Rule #1 for me, is I pay little attention to any load data I see on any forum or pet loads website, hear from any range rat, good intended friend, gun counter clerk, or gun shop guru. My loads come from my published manuals, and are logged for future use. Also a few from powder manufacturer's/distributor's website. I'll see what powders people are using but any data I choose will come out of a published manual...

[Burnt Fingers]

4 gr WST under just about any 120-130 gr cast lead bullet.

Accurate #7 is great stuff in 9mm. I am at the moment loading 7.3 gr. over the Lee 358-125 RF. It’s a moderately hot load. COL on that and other slugs for me is where the barrel dictates...for the 120 TC that means a thumbnails width of bearing surface showing above the case before the cone starts. I do not recall the exact COL.

I shot a new to me load today that just blew me away.

3.3 gr Clean Shot under my MP 125 RNFP.

VERY soft shooting. In my Remington R1 double stack it was like shooting a 22. Very accurate too. I think I found a winner!


BTW, Clean Shot is supposed to be exactly the same as AA#2.

That sounds similar to the old 3.5 BE under just about any 9mm 115-130 gr. slug. Soft shooting and very accurate.

I was interested in what people-sized their boolits to.
SIZE--NUMBER OF PEOPLE
.356 - 4
.3565 - 1
.357 - 7
.3575 - 3
.358 - 10
.359 - 1 (I have a couple of European 9MM's that slugged at .358.

My shooting buddy was having one heck of a time getting good groups until he bumped up the size of the boolit for that gun.

I like 4 grns BE under the lee 125 RN YMMV
