9mm 115 gr FMJ loads

[bill wilson]

anybody load this round, I'm using a piggyback 2 press with assorted 9mm brass, Win chester style 115 gr fmj bullet and 5.1 grs. of Winchester 231,I'm shooting a browning Hi-Power, these loads seem to work okay, just wondering what fav loads others have, I only have HS-6 and W231 to work with, just bought a 1k bullets that look like Win bullets with the lead showing at base but had no name for these bullets, brass 3k very cheap, have 4k Win primers
small pistol, I have alot of W231 that Im trying to use up, and 10 lb. of HS-6
that I use in 12 slug and buckshot loads. Ive been looking at surplus powders
some very cheap from russia. any help or load data, Im willing to buy some surplus powder that is slower than W231 and able to load 9mm, 38 special, .357 mags, .45 acp.ETC.any help????

4.8 gr of W-W 231 gives me 1150 fps with a 115 gr bullet in the 9mm. Works well with plated or jacketed bullets and should function most any Semi-Auto without extra recoil.

I use load data from http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp I put a 181/2 extra power sping in my BHP for max hp rds, I need the extra oowder
so auto will cycle, I forgot I put that spring in? anywho your load is right below max 5.0 grs.from Speer 13 manual, data from hodgdon is max 5.7.I believe any load that works and pressure is right is okay. i like extra power loads for when
the SHTF, I load low with hard cast 125 gr. bullets for plinking. thanks for your load.
