Erich,
After doing numerous gun shows we had several requests for a SD hollow round fo the Makarov.
Hornady states they load their 95gn XTP to a velocity of 975 fps.
Easily achievable. The hodgdon data we used is from the Hodgdon powder website. It is a safe and reliable place to start. We do chrono loads using what guns we have on hand. Does this necessarily mean our data is more reliable? Not really.

Perhaps your subliminal objective is to attack our credibility. Fair enough. Our prime objective is to maintain safe pressures. Our insurance company has no issues with us using the published loads of Powder companies as guides. Some people apparently do. Oh well. There are plenty of published loads that can duplicate or exceed the commercial factory ammo readily bought.
Here's your chance to show us off as frauds. Buy some and shoot it.

BigBill,
The 9mm Mak is slightly more powerful than the 380 Auto.
Neither would be my first choice for CC-SD.
