Favorite 9mm load?

My W-231 and my Zip do not look or load like the same powders. I think that is just a rumor that got started.
 
I don't own any Zip or W231, and was just repeating what I read.

When gun writers say that to ME, it makes me angry, but I guess I do it too.

What does it all mean?
It looks like I was full of s**t.
 
My current favourite? 4.0 grains of Red Dot with a 124 grain fmj at about 1.15 OAL. Why is it my favourite? Because I've got about 4 pounds of Red Dot \I need to use up. The question is, do you guys think small rifle primers (also because I have them) will make this load too hot?
 
I've loaded 2 powders in 9mm with cast slugs for 'practice/plinking' loads, BullsEye and Red Dot with RD being cleaner and slightly tighter grouping. also more bulk which I like but doesn't meter as well as BE.
Power Pistol for jacketed slugs is all I've ever used since I found it is mucho better than BE.
nix the rifle primers or spmags.
 
i just started reloading and i am reloading 9mm. the only primers i could find are small pistol magnm primers. the oad i like is 7. gr of bludot with a 15 fmj rn bullet and magnum primers
 
C'mon, really??? It's just as easy to make a new thread and why?? Because some of the times the info in old threads is no longer valid or the original posters are no longer posting on the board. IMO it's a little silly to reincarnate 2 and sometimes 4 year old threads when you can spark new and more current conversation with a new thread... (Just in case you didn't realize this is really a 4 year old thread started in 2005 and brought back the first time in 2007) :rolleyes:
