My Unique loads grouped best at 4.8 to 4.9 grains when tested at my original 1.120 inch overall length however, that length had the bullet touching the lands in my primary comp pistol. Needless to say, I made quite a number of repetitions, 5 each for a total of 25, to establish at what length the new bullet touched the lands.

Full Metal Jacked Round Nose Bullets (Brass Jackets) NEW Description. All 124 grain 9mm bullets for reloading are swaged from a custom alloyed lead for uniformity, then plated to. When the case/bullet combination was removed, I could then measure the overall length at which the bullet would contact the lands and then reduce the length by the amount of setback off the lands I wanted for that particular bullet in that particular pistol. Home / Shop Products / Bullets for Reloading / Pistol Bullets / 9mm (.355') / 9mm 124 Gr. Then make other decisions from there based on what I learn. For lead you will likely stay below the max load, but seeing this I would probably explore lead loads all the way up to 6.0gr. To check this, I took five empty cases, which had enough tension to lightly hold a new bullet, and carefully inserted the cases and new bullets into the barrel. Also the Hodgdon website does list a 9mm 124gr pistol load for a bullet with a thick copper jacket. It seemed the particular nose profile appeared to be a tad wider in the front of the bullet, causing the round to headspace off the lands instead of the case. When trying my “normal” OAL of 1.120 inches, I found the new hollow back flat point bullet was hitting the lands on one of my pistols (but not the other one). The hollow back causes the bullet to be longer, with the result being more bearing surface during passage through the barrel. I do want to mention a problem I encountered.

Developed a really cracker jack target load with W-231 and ran out of bullets. Liked the results with Unique and Power Pistol so I bought 1000. If all you need is plinking rounds that cycle the gun and don't need fine tuning of accuracy or competition velocities, then it'll be easier.Bought 250 of the Berry’s 124 grain HBFP (hollow back flat point) for testing. Start at low end (3.8-3.9) and work up, with a chrono, and watch your cases for pressure signs. 9mm Caliber (.355) BULLETS 124 Grain FMJ Armscor - 500 Count. So, if you are new to reloading I'd start with the HP-38. The Surplus Ammo reloading supply offers reloading components for everything, including bullets. I love Titegroup, but HP-38 can't be beat either, in terms of quality. Their 9mm 124 gr plated target hollowpoints were my first reloads. If you overcharge TG it may not be obvious in the case, since each charge drop is a smaller volume, and pressures in 9mm ramp up quick. Berrys says to use data for cast lead bullets of the same weight. HP-38/231 is more forgiving than TG, Titegroup being a faster powder. the 125 gr data B-RAD mentions shows 4.4gr W231 as the max for 124gr lead bullet and 4.8gr as max for a FMJ, and I wouldn't exceed that. (Lots of those are 5" barrels, mind you, which will give slightly faster velocities, so you mind need more in a 4" barrel).

The Lee reloading manual I have has: 124 gr Jacketed with Acc 5 with a start of 5.3with a OAL of 1.15 124 gr Copper Plated with Acc 5 with a start of 4.9OAL1. The only powder I have is Accurate 5 and Win 231 (HP-38). For the round nose version of that 124 gr XT bullet, for HP-38 (= Winchester 231.it's the same powder) it's my opinion that you can start at the Berry's data loading and work up.Lots of competitor friends use 4.0-4.2 gr of HP38/231 under a 124 grain plated bullet at various OALs that will vary with the bullet, obviously. I just picked up 200 rounds of Sig V-Crown 9mm. IDPA load in a CZ is 3.8 gr TG at 1.050" OAL under the 124 XT HP bullet. Reload 9mm for 5 cents per round To cover any damages, we always add 2 to 3 extra 9mm. I also use the Xtreme RN and HP 124 gr bullets with Titegroup and N320. 124 grain bullets usually provide the best all-around performance. I shoot this in a M&P, Glock 34, and a 2011. Lately Ive been using Im using 4.4gr of W231 under a PD 124gr FMJ with a 1.145 OAL. Granted Im shooting a 1911, but Im using 4.5gr of 231 using a PD 124gr FMJ OAL at 1.140' with a PF of 135.

I keep all plated bullets except the Berry TP at 100k rounds plus of Berrys over the years. There was a thread very recently asking almost the exact same thing. The Berry's thick plate (they say) will let it fly at 1500 fps plus, whereas I'd say your average XT bullet will start coming apart well before then. The Berry's hollow base round nose thick plated is a higher end plated bullet that will be more alike than different to the XT RN plated bullet, for loading purposes. What's your shooting goal? Plinking rounds at range or competition or?.
