Easiest 9mm bullet shape?

Flat point or hollowpoint, anything with a flat nose is easier to seat straight than a round nose is, unless you are using an M-die to neck size your cases.
As far as powder goes I would use BE-86 or 231 before I would ever consider dealing with the powder bridging problems Unique has.

Roundnose, and a rather pointy one at that.
The original 9mm bullet was a truncated cone which surely worked in a Luger, but roundnose was more versatile as other guns started coming along.
The USAF learned the lesson again about 70 years later.

That said, most modern guns will feed other shapes.
What are you going to be loading for?

Silhouette, A#7 are good powders for the 9mm.

If you decide to go for accuracy, Power Pistol is excellent, though you might need to push the bullets fast for the best accuracy.

Forgiving for feeding, forgiving for fitting in a chamber with a short throat, or forgiving for loading with good concentricity?

Regardless, don't worry too much about it.

A Glock? Sheeeee... they'll all work.

A "flock?"
Is that the new cutesy name for a Glock?
If so, early Gen 5s are known for shorter throats than earlier or later guns. If that is what you have, you might need a long ogive roundnose or deeper than usual seating.

I think he means a flock of pistols.

A long ogilvie round nose works best.

• Not all gun chambers are the same. Some make you jump through "hoops of fire", but not the Glock. That's one of the easier chambers to 'make happy'. (When you ask for help here, always be sure to specify your handgun brand because it makes a big difference.)

• You want to start with jacketed or plated bullets. (Lead bullets are cheaper, but not always easier.) I would highly suggest you go with Rocky Mountain Reloading (RMR) because 1) Jake makes fabulous bullets, 2) makes both plated and jacketed, 3) is a forum member here, and 4) offers a discount to people like you who are also forum members.

• You want to match your bullet choice to the dies you have. Full-featured dies offer exchangeable seating anvils that allow you to perfectly seat multiple bullet shapes, while basic dies may only do one shape well. Let your dies tell you what to buy. >> You want to start off Easy, because things can get Difficult by themselves.


Have fun, be safe, write everything down in your new notebook.
You do have a Reloading Notebook, right ?

Loading for one hand gun it makes no difference what shape the bullet is. Loading for multiple guns with some 147 HP's I have to make sure the COL isn't to long for some. My Walther PPQ needs shorter than most.

My Glocks liked a good JHP best. XTP, HAP, Win 115 JHP..... You should be able to seat any bullet straight with proper technique and a seating die that works with the bullets nose profile.
I had trouble with the XTP/HAP type bullets seating crooked with a seating die designed for FMJ. Had to switch to a die with a cone shape recess in the seating stem. Instant improvement in accuracy. It's all about how the stem fits the nose.
Expanding with a M die is always helpful to good bullet concentricity.

All my 9mm are not picky about bullet shape, if it was me I would say try either the 124gr RMR Match Winners or the MPR JHPS.
(my 9s all like 124/125s better than 115s)

I will second that. My 9MM's like 124/125 grains best.
