9mm with Bullseye recipe

[BlackdogGS]

9mm question. Maybe my books are old but I can't find the recipe I'm looking for. I want to use Bullseye with Berry's 124 RN. I'm thinking 4.0 of Bullseye and a COL of 1.09. This is for a Smith&Wesson Shield. I've never loaded 9mm before. What are you guys using?

In meantime I'll go back to searching the web.

Can go up to 4.5, but I use 4.2 with an oal of 1.135

With Bullseye?

Personally don't run 124's but do Berry's 115's over 4.7 gr Unique with a OAL 1.160. More accurate than I am and leaves a nice pile of brass behind me and to the right - from my Sig M11-A1...

Here's the 124 leadings from the 10th Edition Hornady's reloading manual...

I have other powders here but I wanted to use up this can of Bullseye I've had for a few years.

A few years back, Alliant had load data for Bullseye and Berrys 124gr bullet at 4.4gr

4.0 will work.

Speer book says
3.9gr=966fps
4.4gr=1059fps
1.135 col

Take this for what it's worth.......Lee is pretty much always more than Speer and Lyman but have never had an issue.
Lee says 125gr lead bullet
4.4gr-4.9gr with1.15 col
1165 fps

I would make a small batch if going lighter on volume to make sure it will cycle and feed proper. Made that mistake with 45acp wouldn't cycle so ended up with a wheel gun to use it up rather than pull it down, I guess that could be seen as a bonus.......

I'd have to double check the COAL, but that powder charge should work fine. You've definitely got room to go up if you need to.

Bullseye is pretty much all I use in 9mm. I've gone through literally 10s of thousands of Berry's Bullets. They're a great option for a less expensive projectile.
