9mm help

[Jasonm43]

Just got in a order of 124 gr plated flat point bullets wondering what i should use as an OaL for them as i cant find ne data for the flat point . As a side note im going to start with 4.2 gr titegroup. And as titegroup isnt very forgiving id like to be safe. Tha ks Jay!

I looked on web site for titegroup it had 124 gr but not your bullet type col was 1.150. And powder was 3.6-4.1 you may want to check you load data for that round.. I use 115 gr plated rn and used 4.3 of titegroup,started at 4.1 and worked up to 4.3

The MAXIMUM oal length for any load or bullet in the 9mm is 1.169".

Many start there and then seat the bullet deeper with the "Plunk Test" to get the correct depth for "Their" barrel.
Not mine or his...........but your barrel.

The bullets Ojive also has a bearing on how deep it should go.
You do not want the bullet to come into contact with the barrels lands.

Bullet makers give a oal for their bullet but this is a "Ball park" figure since some pistols
being new or old may have a different fit.


Good loading.

Thanks for watching my back.............
I forgot about the range report and the pictures..........
showing that he made it back from the range after using titegroup as his powder of choice.

Calm down......
that was a joke !!

Go long

^^^^ +1... Just what I was gonna say. For my auto ammo, I always load it as long as I can without going over the max OAL for the cartridge & still pass the plunk test.

Well, it looks like there's nothing left to do here. Don't forget the range report when you shoot them...
