9mm under 900 FPS?

[2veeps]

The indoor range I belong to requires lead bullets @ 900 fps or less at the 50’ range. Easy enough for my 45acp, but for the life of me, I can’t find a load for my 9mm. Looked at the load data sticky here, but no joy. Figure it would have to be a heavy (145 gr +) bullet to have enough back pressure to eject the brass, but am not sure. Anyone know of a spot that would have my info? PMs with pet loads that meet the criteria accepted. Thanks ahead of time.

The hodgdon data site shows a few loads for 125grain and heavier using starting loads. Most are with 147grain Bullets

You might look at the websites for bullseye pistol, there may be some "soft ball" loads for the 9mm they use in matches. But you may need to use a lighter recoil spring in the pistol with these loads.

Any starting load with a 140-147 grain bullet should be fine. It depends on the gun but there's a good chance you can go even a bit lower than the starting load and the gun will still function.

I load 147-grain bullets with 3.2 grains of Bullseye, very accurate in SIG P320 and cycle reliably.

I recently tested my Hipoint C9 pistol with 8 rounds of 125 gr rnfp over 2.5 grains of Red Dot.

You'd have to chrono them but that is half a grain below start.

Pistol ran like a champ, accuracy was ok, mostly out of practice with it.

I actually screwed up and shot them backwards. 8 low cast rounds followed by 5 federal factory loads.

Should have shot the federals first.

Recoil and muzzle blast was significantly less with the light loads. I then came home and loaded up 100 like that, labeled in their own box.

If I recall correctly my 156gr flat point http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?346218-Mihec-359-147-no-groove-(Hitek)-for-9mm on top of 3.3gr wsf averaged 814 from a g17 and shot very well and functioned perfectly in multiple glocks from a little 43 to a 34.
