Trying Titegroup

[deerdad]

Just want to double check with those with more experience than myself. This is for 9mm plinking.
The Sierra book gave the closest info on what I was looking for as far as using Titegroup for 115 FMJRN and 124 FMJRN.
I'm seeing for the 115's a start of 3.7 with a max of 4.5 gr. and a start of 3.7 with a max of 4.4gr for a 125. Can I load the 124's the same as a 125 and do I have to stay with 1.090 or can I load the 124;s at 1.100 like the 115's? I'm second guessing myself with the narrow range of the faster burning titegroup over a slower burn rate with a wider gr range. Any input? I have Christmas week off so I want to get some reloading done.

where were you planning on being in that load range? low/med/high ?

Ive literally loaded thousands of 124 plated over titegroup

Oh shit, I though Mike was back in business.

I load as long as will function. There are exceptions but as a rule, longer is better than shorter.

I use 4.2 gr Titegroup for 115 RN (plated) to a length of 1.150 (which passes the plunk test in my 92FS)

It is always interesting to me that the books give such differences.

Hornady goes from 3.7 to 4.1 and indicates that 4.1 will be the limit (COAL of 1.100)
Lyman says 4 to 4.5 (COAL of 1.100)
Xtreme says 4.2 (and a COAL of 1.150) Free online and has 124 data of 3.7 gn TG and 1.150 COAL: (Reloading Manual)

Out of a 92FS with a 4.9 in Barrel (with 4.2 gns Titegroup and a 115 gn RN plated):

4.2gr titegroup under a 124gr FMJ at 1.150" has been my practice load for years now, works in everything I have in 9mm.

I basically used 4.3 gr but same deal. At 4.2+ it produces something that isn't a mouse fart at least.

I’m loading 4.0; makes power factor in all of my guns, knocks steel down and has minimal recoil.

Perfect, just what I wanted to hear. Maybe I'll try plated at some point but for now as long as I can get fmjrn, I'll stick with them. I really need to get out to the range more and practice so I can out shoot my daughter. She loves rubbing it in whenever we go together.

I've used the same load with plated bullets as well.
