    Help with load

    My friend has like 1k 125gr. .356 diameter for 9mm. But the original package is gone. The specs are accurate for the grain and diameter. But we cannot find any information to load this round.

    Thanks.

    Look at reloading manual info for cast bullets of that weight and powder you guys have and start at minimum. DO NOT use FMJ info, start load of FMJ bullets is usually more than max cast bullet powder load.

      Looks like a bullet that didn't make it all the way thru a vertical wall.

            This is actually pretty close to the truth. With 125gr 9mm, 3.8gr will likely work with just about any powder that you would want to use in 9mm. That's one of the reasons that 9mm is a really good case to learn on. It's easy and quite forgiving where it is hard to Kaboom unless you are really pushing it. Of course, that's not to say you should just do it without load data, but it's likely you'll find a similar result after you've done your due diligence.
