Reloading 9mm with berrys bullets

[pirate357]

Hey everyone. I'm new to reloading and had a quick question. I'm loading a 115 gr 9mm round nose Berrys preferred plated bullet and was hoping someone could tell me what bullet to specifically look up in my loading tables. Thanks.

I can tell you that plated bullets should be loaded somewhere in the middle between copper jacket'ed and lead bullets. For my 9mm loads I settled on 6.1g of Ramshot True blue and berry's 115g plated bullets for my glock 17. None of my reloading manuals have data for plated bullets!

Here's some info from their site: [URL="http://www.berrysmfg.com/faq-q9-c1-How_do_I_load_Berrys_Preferred_Plated_Bullets.aspx "]

it also depends on what gun you plan on loading for, for instance I load light for my WWII P-08 and P38 pistols while hotter for my Glock and Hipowers

Also, Lee has reloading data for copper plated bullets. It's worked well for me. You can get their whole reloading manual for $13 on Midway, or just give them a call and order a 9mm datat sheet for like $5.

If you use Ramshot True Blue powder they have extensive load data for 9mm plated bullets, including berrys.

Start loads for FMJ seem to work fine.

I use the guidance on Berry's web site which says to use start to mid-range jacketed load data. Using start loads for 115gr FMJ has worked great for me.
