Oh... CTsixshot... Can you take a look in your Lyman book and give me a load range? I can't find much online and can't find my Lyman book...
9MM
125 gr. round nose hard cast lead
Bullseye...
I'm seeing load data ranging from 3.8gr all the way to 5.2 gr. And knowing the characteristics of B/E... I don't trust that range. I don't want to play the guessing game with a powder like B/E. 5.2 seems incredibly hot. And where I saw the 3.8, the author suggested starting at least .2 below that. And that one seems a little light. I plan to do a range of test loads before I decide, but I don't trust the ranges I'm seeing. I want to stretch a lb of B/E as far as I can and keep recoil to a minimum while reliably cycling all of my 9mm pistols. The choice of running Bullseye is because I can stretch a pound and use it for 9, .45, .38sp and .357.
