Favorite accross the board 9mm load?

[John Browning]

For the life of me, I can't find a load in 9mm that works well across the board for me in a wide variety of guns, at least in terms of being fairly accurate. Anybody have a pet load that you find gives you very good results in a variety of your 9mms?

Right now I use W231 and AA#2 over 115gr HAP, but I'm not at all opposed to a totally new powder and/or bullet. Thanks.

6grs of Power Pistol behind 124gr bullets. It's a go to load. It's like peanut butter and jelly.

MMM. I love PBJ. Any 124gr better than any other? Jacketed, plated or lead? Thanks J-cat.

You currently have pretty fast powder that aren't commonly known to be "general purpose". Medium burning powders like Unique, Universal, Power Pistol, Silhouette, N330, and the new (and more available) CFE Pistol are the ones that can pretty much guarantee a general purpose load.

As long as you're using 114 or 124gr bullet you'll be fine.

I just made a build with 5.4gr CFE Pistol and 124gr HP bullet at 1.10 OAL

Jacketed. The most accurate is the XTP/HAP loaded short. But it will run with anything.

I like 5.8gr PP with a 124. Just started using PP. Love it.

Favorite all time load is 115jhp on top of 6gr AA#5. Also works amazing with plated 115's.

9mm 115gr FMJ RN with 5.0gr win 231
Been loading this for well over 20 years now and shot through at least 12 different makes and models of 9mm pistols, never had a problem.

124grn plated and 5.5grn AA#5 for thousands and thousands of rounds.

4.7gr of W231 under a 115 rn (xtreme, montana gold, or pd)..... shoots around 1120fps depending on gun. Works in Glocks, S&Ws, Springers, and Sigs. Never had an issue in any pistol.

4 gr bullseye w/124 gr lead bullet.

5.8 to 6.0 Unique with 115 grain Rainer or Berry's FP. Accurate enough for plinking for both of my Ruger P95 and Beretta FS 92.

Power Pistol makes you less of a sissy when shooting a 9mm. Nice loud bang, good flash, but the best part is it's very forgiving pressure wise. You cannot explode your 9mm with Power Pistol, totally safe for noobs. It was used in 9mm NATO throughout the Cold War.

My two general 9mm loads:
4.2gr Win 231, 124gr FMJ round nose, Win SP Primer, seated to 1.135"

4.3gr AA#2, 124gr plated round nose (Berry's or Xtreme), Win SP Primer, seated 1.135"

These two loads cycle my AR Carbine and all of my pistols. They are good all around loads, but if you are trying to knock down heavy steel, they might be a little too light for you.

Works excellant for me in Glocks,Kahr PM 9,CZ Sp-01.
Thanks for the tip Eric!
