9mm & W231

[bigchinner]

That sounds about right. 4.6 is middle road according to speer. That's what shoot out of my Ruger and XD. A little kick and enough umph. I double tap whenever I can.

Do the Bear Creek have the traditional lub groove?
Do you secondarily lube them?

The older lot did have the groove, my newer lot that I got last year does not have a groove. Gues they don't do it on the .355 anymore. Still shoots great and the same though.

I don't lube them again, they are perfect as is. You get the lube all over your hands just handling them. That's why I love bear creek.

I bought some 147 gr Bear Creek 9mm last night...
They were "Flat Nose".... is there a point to the flat nose?...well...errrrr.. I mean is there a reason for the flat nose?

I use the same except I use 124 JHP from precision delta with 4.6 of 231/hp-38.

Here is what I use, YMMV.
* ALWAYS Load with Caution & Load Up from Minimum during Testing/Evaluation "per" firearm.

Glock 9mm G34/G17/G19; Factory Barrel

Xtreme 124grn Plated RN
OAL: 1.135"
Crimp .378
WSP / CCI #500 SPP
W231 4.4 grn

MG 124grn JHP
OAL: 1.120"
Crimp: .377-.378
WSP / CCI #500 SPP
W231 4.4 grn

fwiw: CZ 75SA -&- Bar Sto Barreled Glock 9mm
^ Shorter OAL required

MG 124JHP
OAL 1.095
WSP / CCI #500 SPP
W231 4.4

MG 147 CMJ
OAL: 1.135
WSP / CCI #500 SPP
W231 3.6

Not directed to the OP, but in General:
* ANY LOAD SHOULD BE WORKED UP & Tested per Firearm. Some barrels will only chamber shorter OAL loads, such as the CZ75. Reference data from a Reloading Manual and Start from Their Minimum Range of Weight
^ DO NOT Start High & Work Down; Start Low & Work your Load Up with any powder.

Have a great one
