115 gr fmj??

[slowyellow]

My lymans book doesn't give me any data for 115gr fmj 9mm luger period. But I need it for using 231 if anyone has it. If you have the min/max load grains, velocities, and OAL I'd greatly appreciate it. I figured that that would be pretty standard info. But it's not.

So would I be looking at the LRN for fmj?

Yes, a lead round nose is going to be the same data, start light and work your way up.

115 JHP in 9mm in Lyman 49th is 3.5gr min to 4.9gr max for W231 (~1253fps).

The closest thing in Lyman 49th for lead is 120gr RN 3gr min to 4.1gr max, and 120gr TC with 2.9gr min to 4.4gr max.

I don't substitute lead data with jacketed data. Shooting pure lead bullets to jacketed max velocity will lead the barrel excessively. Lead seals differently from jacketed and can, generally, have faster velocity with less powder.

max OAL for 9mm is 1.169 and most of the bullets in 49th are 1.005 to 1.115in. I usually load COL for best feeding and then work up in powder.

I gave him lead data for fmj bullets. Should be perfectly fine.

Thanks guys.
