This is an older booklet, but it shows 4.7 to 5.3gr of W231 under 9mm 124gr XTP.

Few books will deisgnate specific bullets. If you want true XTP data, then you need a Hornady manual. You can use dat from other sources if using it as a starting point & working the load up in 0.1gr increments in small lots of no more than 10rds. The OAL is the tricky part, very bullet & gun specific. So load to the longest OAL that fits YOUR gun.

Ok i loaded 10 rds but i went with a oal of 1.085. I will start over and pull those sometime and go longer. The photo doesnt show a XTP rd for 124 gn that i see? Am i missin something? thanks for the help though. I will have to get some different powder for the 124s I dont want any problems.

Ok shot all the ammo i loaded and the ammo with 231. No signs of high pressure in any of them. Accuracy wasnt bad but was better with the 4.5 gn of unique. Happy I got my first 50 rds downrange with no problems.
