I actually did spend the $0.99 and have that data from the hornady app. I was just confused because titegroup(powder) isnt listed.

thanks for all your suggestions, btw.

Xtp and gold dot are pretty close in profile. Start low and work up. Make sure it cycles and pay attn to pressure.

Hornady doesn’t think titegroup is optimal for their bullets. Doesn’t mean it won’t work. Just better powders for 124gr 9mm. If you aren’t concerned with max velocity it should work well for you.

You can download the Hornady Reloading App and just the cartridge you want for $.99

Try to use the Hodgdon powder website. It’s a great resource. Just my opinion but starting with Universal powder or CFE Pistol is much more forgiving than the Tite Group. https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/

this ^^^^^

I think if is spent the extra $$$ for Hornady XTP...i would use a different $$$$ powder.

I do berry's 115gr or 124gr LRN with titegroup as my economical goto. If I stepped into a higher end projectile, i might use WSF, VV, or HS6.

then again...i do more range target practice than high end loads...

I load my 124-125 with 4.0. It's what I started with and never changed.

I got turned on to Universal, and really like it. Had been a Titegroup before.

As all said, start at bottom and work up. I have found best accuracy at standard (up to 35 yds) distances are best with just a tad above cycling velocities.

well i guess im gonna start low and latter up. Im being told to watch for pressure signs.

my next question is: what would be signs of too much pressure? bulging/splitting cases?
