I’m curious where others have landed on 9mm loads. So far my best is with the penta hp sized 358, 1.110 OAL with 3.6 HP-38. The penta hp weights 137 and the round weighs 135.
Thank You!

Stronger, Prouder and Greater!
I have that mold. I use the large round hollow point, and mine also weigh 135 grains. I load mine with 4.4 grains of unique, but I use 1.085” col. Sized to .358”. They shoot great out of my sr1911. I tried 4.6 grains, but got a little leading.
Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!
I'm right in the middle of the you guys at 1.09. 4.6gr of Accurate #5 runs well, but is a little too soft to make power factor for USPSA. 4.1 of Power Pistol just makes the grade. I have a jug of Alliant Sport Pistol that I want to try next.
I've been using Sport Pistol, Power Pistol and Silhouette in 9X19 with the Lee 125 gr TC and their 105 gr SWC as well, still fooling around with seating depths to suit several different pistols and one AR9. Also gonna try out their 95 gr RF but I don't hold out too much hope for it other than in .380 and light .38 SPL plinkers, due to its profile.
I've been haunting the MP site but the 9s I'd like to order are back-ordered.
