My first reloads....

[Beerman]

Thanks guys for the advice and great words of wisdom. Should I just go to 4.3 and try that, or should I stay where I am at?

I no longer load 9mm in 114-115 GR projectiles ... I just like the 124's so much better (and you typically use less powder
to achieve the same terminal power rating)

Here's what Hogdon says about WW 231

Cartridge: 9mm Luger

I finally got the chance to shoot the first 9mm reloads that I have made up. I was a little apprehensive about pulling the trigger at first. This is all new to me and I wanted it to be right. I took the 10 rds and put them in my G17 and here we go. I couldn't believe the accuracy at 10 yards. Right on line where I was aiming. I also found them to be very week and little recoil, but cycled fine. No FTE. I will make up some more tomorrow with a little more punch. I was at 3.9- 4.0 loads and moving up to 4.6 - 4.8... Man this is fun..

Awesome dude! I know that you have swallowed the hook now!
