Anyone have a recipe for this bullet using Winchester 231 ? Or would that be a good powder to use?
Thanks guys.

I have never tried 231, but 4.2g of Bullseye or 5g of Unique have worked well for me.

5.0 to 5.5 of 231/HP-38 should get you in the 1200fps+ range.

A most interesting bullet in the 9mm...I used 3.5~4.0 of Promo in my Taurus 99AF... Sure makes a frugal use of lead alloy. Wonderful for plinking.

I had great results with this mold for 9mm. Not at home right now, but I got all the info I needed for powder and OAL from the Lyman fourth editio Cast Bullet Handbook.
