Need load info for 9mm 124-125 grain PC RN

[Tweetyj]

Need load info for 9mm 124-125 grain PC with Clays -VVn320- titegroup powders.
Using a S&W 929 revolver.

use 124-125 gr jacketed RN/FP data. Start low and work up.

[rancher1913]

only see titegroup in the layman cast boolit book. min 3.4 max 3.8 for 124 grain and min 3.7 max 4.1 for 125 grain

watch that titegroup.
the PC will pull some of the nitro out of it and the powder will clump up sticking to the base of the coated bullet.

Can you go into more detail on this answer? Would this be a problem with Titegroup only or is it a problem with other powders as well?

I have the S&W 929 as well. It shoots very well for me. It works well with full power loads in both jacketed and cast.
It really shines with lightly loaded rounds similar to light target loads in 38 special.
Hodgdon's data site gives data for Titegroup and Clays. http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/pistol
I don't have data for the VV powders.

I'd like to hear more info on this.

Have you checked the powder manufacturers websites? There should be tons of data out there. That's like the most common round and bullet weight available...

I use lead data for powder coated bullets. Jacketed bullets have much more friction than either lead or PC, but the load data can be used as a reference point if nothing else is available.

Using a revolver allows you to seat the bullet out further, but I'd be hesitant to deviate from the published data even though the 929 should be a very robust gun.
