Reloading Data for Heavy 9mm Rounds (greater than 147g)

[Broc]

I noticed it is very hard to find reloading data for heavy rounds and it is also very hard to find data for some powders such as N320 or even W231.

I found this article that has some decent loads to start:

Reloading Heavy Bullets in 9mm Luger - Shooting Times

Most people who shoot a 9mm Luger use 115 and 124 grain bullets, since these are the typical

www.shootingtimes.com

I also found that for Bayou 160g 9mm and N320, looks like 2.8 - 3.1 is a good load, based on reading reviews and the Brian Enos forum.

If anyone has played with heavy bullets, or has access to a manual that has data, can you post it?

Not really modern powders but you might be able to extrapolate something from it.

Nice man. How old is that info and what manual is that?

158g is very close to 160, so I might try Bullseye
