Ammunition & Hand Loading > Cartridge and Shotshell reloading
Noob reloading question
abbafandr:
I haven't got my reloading press yet (back ordered, imagine that). I will loading 9mm.
I have a couple of 9mm carbines that I shoot the same factory ammo as my 3 9mm pistols. I haven't found any recommended loads for 9mm carbine loads like they have for say, 357 mag rifles. Any ideas? :blank:
GreyGeek:
Here is a listing of 9mm reloading data for a wide variety of bullet weights, powders and primers.

Good luck finding bullets, primers and powders for the loads you choose. I finally found a second choice for powder and ordered 8 lbs of Titegroup, which is primarily for target shooting and light duty. My Lee Aniversary Classic Reloader kit came a couple days ago and it has a Hodgdon Data Manual in it. Titegroup is one of the powders listed. For a 147 gr bullet the load is like this:
147gr Hornady XTP (I hope I can find them. So far, NO ONE has any 9mm bullets available.)
Titegroup 3..6 gr
929 ft/sec
27,500 CUP.
It doesn't mention which primer to use but I am hoping to get a hold of some CCI #500 small pistol primers.
My dies willl be here in a couple weeks. Primers and bullets are the only components I am missing.

Fremont gun show dealer had boxes of them. Silly me, I was looking for 115 or 124 grain ::)

I have never seen loading data in 9mm for carbine vs pistol. I would start with a recommended load from a manual and work up to a load you like in the carbine just like you would with any load. I started reloading 9mm not to long ago as well. I have reloaded about 750 rounds now it is fun. I too am running low on components and am having a hard time finding stuff.

I shoot an XDM 9mm and I use 4.4 grains of No. 2 Accurate powder with Berry's 115 grain FMJ bullets.
