Anyone have a 9mm 124gr HP load (Ranier plated bullets) recommendation? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I've got 1,000 124gr Ranier HP (plated). I shoot Titegroup and HS-6. I can't find the data in the Hodgdon website for this type of bullet.

For titegroup, I think the range is 4.1 to 4.4 gr. But I'm not 100% sure of that range.

Any recommended loads that work for you in this or a similar rounds?

Thanks.

I've loaded TG with 124 raniers before. I used 4.0 - 4.4 with WW primers. I shot several 4.4 but mainly stuck with 4.0 because I wanted a light load.

Use the data for cast lead bullets

What do you use for an OAL? I was thinking of 1.150 for an overall length.

Are they round nose or flat points.
For round nose I use 1.13-1.12
For flat points I used 1.06 1.08

They're actually HP. I've got 200 primed and ready to load. I've loaded 147 HP to 1.100 and they worked fine in beretta and XD.

P.S. Agalindo - pm me if you reload .40 too

I've load Berry's 124 HP over 4.2 grains titegroup at 1.125 OAL. I use the same load for 124 RN but OAL would be 1.155.

I've shot plenty of plated bullets but never the HP. My load for 124 grain in 9mm was 4.0 grains of TiteGroup. That was as low as I could go and still get the slide to cycle reliably on my M&P9. Very low recoil and excellent accuracy from this load. Sorry I can't remember the OAL but I don't think it woul help you anyway sine you are using the HP. Make sure you expand the case mouths good or those plated bullets like to deform when you seat them. Good Luck.
