I just bought a RCBS single stage and the die set for 9mm Luger... I know some of you dont like the 9mm round Im sorry

I have three types of powder: Bullseye, Hogdon HP-38 and Winchest AutoComp

With all unfired Win Brass

Win primers and Hornady 124gr TMJ and 115gr HP

What is the best load for these if anyone knows?

I have had my best results from the 115 gr HP with 4.7 gr of AutoComp
Shooting out of my Ruger SR9
 
Welcome to the forum...

You really need a reloading manual, actually more than one and you should read them. No one can really tell you which is the "best load" for any load/handgun combination. All hadnguns are different so you will need to test loads out and see which shoots best in your gun.

As an additional data source you can get data for HP-38/W231 and AutoComp from the Hodgdon Data Site and load data for Bullseye from the Alliant Data Site.
 
Ruger... make sure you set up the belling die correctly... else it will give you a lot of grief.

I use VV N320 with 124 grain fmj's, personally. It is a comfortable, clean burning load.
 
What AA said. Get a reloading manual and start at the starting load for each powder and work them up. That's half the fun of reloading. You might have the same gun as me but the best load in my gun might not be a good load at all in yours, each gun is different. Welcome to reloading and have fun.
