hi what is a good load for 9 mm 124 gr just to target shoot ?

Just work up a load for your gun. Every gun is different and as you work one up, its more trigger time.

FWIW I have had excellent results with Ramshot Silhouette. 5.0 grains under a good 124 JHP shoots extremely well. The Border Patrol Pistol Team uses that same load or close to it I believe. Tried other loads but this one gave me the best results on paper.

I use 4.0 or 4.1 gr Titegroup for 124 grainers.

However... for target work I prefer 147 grainers with 3.4 or 3.5 gr Titegroup.

I use these loads in a P226 and a Q5 Match. Mixed brass and for primers either S&B, or Fed100 or cci500 or WinSP or Rem5.5... in other worlds,,, whatever primer floats my boat that day.

I also use Viht.N-320 at the same changer weight as Titegroup. But use TG 90% of the time. didn't find any accuracy difference between those 2 powders.

I always used AA#7 and a 124 round nose with CCI SP primers. It meters well and is accurate out of several guns. I even run it out of an AR and it performs well. I don't load pistol much anymore but that powder has always worked well for me. I do not run them hot either, about a 1/2-3/4 power load.

I’m using 5 gr of CFE Pistol

I try to use same bullet weight and velocity as my carry ammo.

I use 4.0 or 4.1 gr Titegroup for 124 grainers.

However... for target work I prefer 147 grainers with 3.4 or 3.5 gr Titegroup.

I came to post this.. so +1 here

Lead or jacketed?

 

[Hoser]

4.0 Titegroup.
1.130 OAL.
Mixed brass.
Federal primer.

From a 5 inch barrel they average about 1050 fps for FMJ. JHP are slightly faster at that OAL.

Hi thanks for all the info have not reloaded in 30 years so need lots of help lol

For accuracy, 2.8 gr bullseye behind 115 or 125 gr lead bullets, Win. Fed. Rem., Or Rentech primers. Very light load but I've not ever had a FTF.

During one of the “O” component scarcities, all I could find for the 9mm was Winchester WSF, it works very well, meters smoothly. Winchester’s loads vary depending on FMJ or lead bullets. Take a look if interested at...
