Last weekend I brought home a new XDm9mm. It shoots just fine with Wally World white box Winchesters. I have owned Glocks and also have the MP9, but I have never loaded very much for the 9mm.

I have 115,124,147 jacketed plus a some 125 hard cast. I have W231, AA5, Unique and Titegroup.
No match shooter here, just fun stuff.

Any suggested loads. Thanks.

You do have a reloading manual, yes???
If you do not have the Lee Modern reloading, it is good as it lists just about every load/bullet/powder combo in the charts at the end of the book.
 
I have lots of manuals and access to all of the web sites - just thought someone may have some favorites that have served well. I have never loaded cast bullet in the 9mm, but under current conditions I'm willing to try and happen to have a batch I have had for several years.
 
The only 125 cast lead listed in my Lee manual for the powders you have is:

AA#5 5.6 gr for 997 fps and max of 6.2grs for 1133fps

Add disclaimer here: Use at your own risk.

Lead bullets at decent velocity (read high pressure) will lead the snot out of the barrel.

I have never found a factory pressure load that won't lead.

I am sure someone has done it, but it was too much trouble for me.

I just remembered it was a Lyman 356402 mold I used. Linotype, about 120 grs., truncated cone. No gas check.

Can't remember my own home phone any more (old), but can sharply recall stuff like this. Go figure...........
