Iam gona load some 9mm tonight for my glock for the first time. What are you guys loading for win231??
Ill be useing win 231, 124 gr hornady FMJ RN and cci primers. Weve already discussed this and ive done some reading…
What are you guys loading using this combo? Grains and oal…
4.6 gr Win 231
124 gr Montana Gold FMJ RN
1.144 OAL (glock 17)
Are you using small pistol or small rifle primers?
For 124 gr FMJ, I use whatever SP primers I have (currently CCI and Wolf) and I usually run 4.3-4.4 gr of 231. I’ve used a variety of bullets, including Zero, Precision Delta, and Berry’s thick plate among others. OAL is at 1.13.
I just load published max and match OAL to whatever similar factory load is laying around.
4.4 grns win231
precision delta 124’s FMJ
1.145 oal
Iam useing small pistol cci primers…
Don’t remember, have not seen any 231 for a loooonng time!
I used to load ‘normal’ flat base 124g FMJs with WSP primers and 4.5g 231. With hollow/concave base 124g FMJs, I dropped it down to 4.0g of 231.
I’ve started using Titegroup for all my 9mm, .40 S&W and .45ACP target loads. For 9mm, I’m using between 3.7g - 4.3g. Still using WSP primers.
Iam pretty sure i got the last 2 pndrs on the planet. I havent seen any more since i walked into a gunstore and they had this. Ill have to figure out what to use when this runs out.
I asked because you “can” use small rifle primers, I do, you just need to be sure to tone down the powder charge a bit.
Depends on the primer. Some small rifle and pistol primers are the exact same. I never change the powder charge if I’m running rifle primers. If I ran SR magnums it might be a concern. But I never use those in pistol anyway.
you are, of course, correct 
I should have mentioned that the small rifle primers I use are somewhat “hotter” than small pistol primers, and I originally started using them for hot USPSA Major PF loads. The thicker cup and extra pressure helped to push 9mm bullets fast enough to make PF without having the primer flow back into the firing pin channel and break a firing pin.
Yeah. I’ve not done extensive chrono testing with subbing primers in pistol. And with SR primers usually harder to find in panics than SP, I never shoot sub rifle primers anymore.
See in my area SRP were easier to get than SPP during the last panic, at this point I don’t even own SP anymore, I just use SR for everything
Yeah… it’s weird how different areas run short on totally different things.
It honestly is. I picked up an eight pounder of TAC locally last month, and an eight pounder of CFE pistol in the same fashion last week. And there is almost always single pounds of TAC available locally.
Pistol powder is very slim pickings around here. I never drive by a store without going in to check what they have on hand. Really want to get my hands on some 300MP.
texas, let us know what you end up with and how it shoots
I sure will , looks like 4.3 gr,is about the way to go,or start.
It supposed to rain the next 2 days here,so that will give me some time to do it.
Iam gona try to get over to the range in the morning before it starts and at least get some .22 time in.
