Hi guys....long time THR stalker, first time poster. I've recently began reloading (6 months or so) and finally found some powder--Bullseye. I have 115gr 9mm FMJ bullets. I have searched here and multiple other sites and cannot find the data for 115gr FMJ and Bullseye powder. I have 4 different books and there has been no listing for the 115gr FMJ. I find it in multiple other grains but not the 115. I'm sure its probably on here somewhere, or on a google search, but I have spent hours and cannot find it (I confess that I'm not very tech savy). Any suggestions on where else I may look for the data I need (powder, OAL)?? Is there a substitute for FMJ data? Thanks guys and, like I said, I'm sure it's out there....thus the hours of searching, but thought maybe some of you guys may get the computer outta my lap!! :banghead:

2002 Alliant booklet says 115 FMJ - OAL = 1.120" - - 5.0 Bullseye MAX.
Reduce 10% for the starting load.
Or, 4.5 Starting load and work up.
Plunk test the load in your guns barrel to insure the OAL is missing the rifling leade.

RC is correct. Check the powder manufacturer's web site first.
Some sources will only list the Max Load, so the Starting Load is then derived by reducing by 10%. In other words, multiply the Max Load by 0.9 and round off.
When all else fails you can always call the manufacturer. They have tons of data not listed on their web site.
Hope this helps.

Here's Alliant's 2004 load data pdf - http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=182147&d=1364769070
It's a good reference to use for FMJ and lead bullets not listed on Alliant's website.

4.2gr of BE under an X-Treme 115gr plated round nose bullet is the perfect load for my Sig P938, Sig M11-A1, Springfield XD9 and XDs 9.

115 gr FMJ
A load that works well for me when shooting my Sig P 239 is
115 gr R-P FMJ
CCI 500 primer
4.6 grs Bullseye
COAL = 1.125
