9mm 100 Gr. Frangible Bullets. Load data recommendation?

[crazy]

I haven't reloaded in at least a dozen years but it is time to start again. I am getting a bag of 500 frangible 100 gr. 9mm bullets from a friend. Has anyone ever loaded these? I have read some do's and don'ts regarding loading frangibles. These will be for shooting at the range. I would like better than minute of barndoor accuracy. I'm not asking for much( I think) or am I?

The two weapons I will be shooting these out of will be an old school PC9 and a Glock 34.

I can't remember if I got 90gr or 100gr Remington frangible projectiles on a closeout for CHEAP, but I loaded them to MEDIUM-High (Just above mid-grade) 115gr load data in 9mm during the last shortages...
They worked just fine.

I gave $50 for them. I hope I didn't get taken.

Sounds like you took. At the very least they're good for trigger time. I had some frangible 223 and they are much bigger. I guess if it was me I'd internet it for data and if not, then load them to the size of the matching lead bullet. I guess the size dedicates the case volume ?

Thank you for this. I will read it more tonight. I also found some copper and tin frangible pills that are 45 gr. At least this will give me some trigger time.

I have put off reloading for a long time because life got too busy. It is time to start reloading again.

Here they are.

Suggest you get or look at the latest edition (2019) of Richard Lee Modern Reloading book, has lots re: frangible and solid copper bullets. if your 45gr is 223 might be sinterfire - they have some good reloading info on their website. Also make sure you flare the case wide enough so you don't get any wrinkles in the case. Also x2 dont crimp just seat or very light crimp as crimping might snap off the heads or create fractures that will snap off when feeding.
