Nope. Here they are, loaded long over N-105.

@Mark_Mark , RMR FPMW == Flat Point Match Winner. The first two characters are true, the second two are up to you. @longdayjake hangs out here, he’s the man responsible for them!
Pick a faster powder for lighter loads, a slower powder for heavier loads. Titegroup, N320, sport pistol are all fast. WST had published loads long ago, there’s a thread here describing that. WSF is a great slower powder that’ll work well.
The de facto powder for 9mm accuracy is PP but I don’t care for the blast or recoil impulse.
I’d be interested to know where PP got this reputation. It certainly will put on a show. Others have commented on how good BE86 is.

Here they are, loaded long over N-105.
Wow, I load them that long too, but a rifle powder? VV says they developed N330 specifically for 9mm, and I’ve ventured into N340 and 3N37 but didn’t think they published N105 data.

X-treme bullet above over
3.8gr of Titegroup, (very easy to shoot)
4.1 gr of Titegroup (favorite)
5.3 gr of BE-86 (favorite)
5.0 gr of WSF, (Dudedogs load)
4.5 gr of Universal

The ones I load the most is 4.1 gr of Titegroup and 5.3gr of BE-86.

I just started experimenting with Win244 and have only tried one load so far so can't comment about it.
 
I really want to lead up my gun with SWC. they make really clean holes

Everyone has priorities why the vast difference in suggestions, given to you. What kind of target shooting are you doing or better yet, what are the results that would make you happy or even satisfied?

I do a lot of "target shooting" with my cast and coated bullets and they pick up the #1 slot for cost but are not at the same spot in the accuracy dept; however, they are accurate enough for a number of targets...

History has showed me that good JHP's are hard to beat accuracy wise. Even if they don't make as clean of a hole in the target, at least all of the holes are closer to one another. If that is the goal.

I use both 124gr MPR and 124 gr Nukes with TB (hard powder to get and still working off my inventory). RMR has great products and they are great people!!! Easy to deal with, quality products and very competitive prices!!! You'll like em if you try em!

That's my goal if I do my part. Pistol, bullet, powder and me the "Weak Link"!!!

This thread is super helpful! Lots of good combos and things to try.

types of 9mm shooting:

1- Suppress for fun: Got that mostly covered with 147 & 124 Berry bullets and Universal. But that powder won’t cycle the gun if the charge is too small. Will try N320 on a low charge and see if I can make the quietest possable 147 or 124

2 - USPSA: Go fast 9mm for a STi DVC 5.5” gun. And, a CZ Shadow Carry Optic class. need light recoil, minor PF, and accurate.

3 - Just standing there and punching holes in paper at 5 and 10 yards is very relaxing and satisfying, makes a stressful week go by quickly . I tried longer distances, but it’s not fun, I just can’t bull-eye or group good at pass 15 yards

Double action revolver shooting has help me become a much better shooter. You see all your trigger & grip mistakes at real time
 
I know you said you were trying to take a break from berry's, but my favorite 9mm target load is 124gr berry's over 5gr of power pistol. It's what I use for idpa, when I don't use factory ammo

It's reliable and accurate enough for me.
I have like 2 or 3 thousand of those bullets! Just need the powder!

which is why at 25 yrds i shoot steel gongs. a hit is a hit. 10-8-6-4 inch gongs.
 
The load I won the most PPC matches with was a 115gr JHP over 5.0gr of HP38. This is what Bobby Tranum of Precision Delta used in the PD match loads he sold.
Atlanta Arms at one time was using 5.2gr of WSF.
CURRENTLY, the AMU load for Bullseye is 5.5gr of N350, or N340.
The main idea is to keep the bullet supersonic past the 50yd line to avoid transiting the trans sonic velocity (increased turbulence).
If your barrel has a 1/10 to 1/14” twist, a 147gr may be more accurate. In that case, keep muzzle velocity’s below 1,080fps .
PowerPistol, CFE-Pistol, and BE-86 are good. I used WSF to duplicate several small ammo manufacturers factory loads.

OP, don’t forget the THR discount with RMR !
