2 guns - I can only tell you what I do for my 9's. For the boolit I'm loading currently, (the MP 125gr HP, .358 diameter) my OAL is 1.125. One of my fav loads is 4.1 grs of Red Dot. It's a middle of the road load, but shoots well and fairly clean, with no leading - in MY guns. enjoy Mike Gotta edit what I just gave as load info. The powder was IMR 7625 - NOT Red Dot.... So - 4.1 Grs of 7625. Sorry, slip of the brain... Mike

2 guns - Another thought, OAL related. Just so you know - I set my OAL by the plunk test. Remove your barrel from the gun. Load a dummy round, leave it a little long. Drop the round in your chamber and see if it drops in and sits FLUSH with your barrel hood. That's where it should be. If it's a little long, just keep seating the boolit a little deeper, until the round sits flush. As long as that length is OK with your magazine, you're good to go. IF the round falls too deep in the chamber, make it a little longer. Done. enjoy Mike
