plated 124 gn 9mm load

[Chuck Jones]

I have about 2k 124gn plated bullets and want to know what loads you recommend using Unique, 231, AA#5, or Clays.

TIA

For 124 gr 9mm I use 3.8 gr. 231 with cast lead bullets. I was informed that with plated bullets you should use cast bullet data.

Just spent a butt load of time working up a load for my XD subcompact using Unique and 231. Unique really shoots the Extreme 124gr plated well at 3.8gr (912fps) and 4.1gr (1102fps) out of a 2" barrell at 25 yds in 87degree temps at 4800' elevation. both groups shot 1/2'! My gun also like the 231, but Unique was turning better results.

You guys ever try Herco? Just fill it up and shoot.

In 9mm I like to use slow powders with plated bullets. 6.4 gr. HS-6 under 124 gr. Xtreme RN bullet makes minor in G19.
