I need positive input please. My books have no reloading data for copper platted bullets for reloading 9mm. I have lots of Unique powder I’d like to use if I can. Using 115 gr round nose xtream bullets from Wess.
Please and thank you.

Use full range lead data. Or low to mid range jacketed data

I can't answer for using unique powder as I use titegroup in my pistol rounds

The lowest data I have is for 1150 FPS. Is that low enough? Or how low do you go?
Start at the lowest and work your way up. is what I've always been told you have to find what you're gun likes and not have signs of overpressure.

This is right from the manual from alliant powdershttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...409e6aedee.jpg

Ive never used that combo, but just looked at several different resources. Some books say 4.5-5.5gr and others say 5.0-6.0gr. One even listed a max charge of 6.3gr. These were all with jacketed bullets. I don’t know if that helps.

I've loaded thousands of Berrys 115 grain plated with 5.6 grains of Unique and am quite pleased with the load. They chronograph on average 1080 out of a Glock 19. Your results may vary but I've never seen any indication of over pressure.
When you come up with something, post it up here and get another opinion.
I promise you that someone will help. 9MM is VERY popular.
I also use titegroup.
Sounds good. Thank you.
All of you have been very helpful. Thank you very much.
Would the load data change just because its jacketed? I could see hollow point but Jacketed shouldn't change the reloading data on it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I use CFE Pistol and run 4.5gr-5gr depending on the gun one pistol likes more grain than the other.
Jacketed data can be used with most jacketed bullets of the same weight. JHP, JSP, FMJ, makes little difference. Cast bullet data is different (generally lighter) and should be used with cast bullets of the same weight. Plated bullets have a thin plating and they fall in between Jacketed and Cast.
So yes, the jacket does make a difference.
This is what I used when I got started. I use Unique too and it shoots well. Always be careful regardless of other’s success with a bullet/powder combo though!
