Default Newbe ???

Just starting to reload again after 40+ yrs - 9mm - Bullseye - 115gr.Winchester bullet - Fed. primers
Most charts I find have B/E for 90gr and again for 147gr but nothing in between.
Is this Not a good powder??
Load is 4.3 to 4.8
Thanks for any info you can send
Ron

Did you check the reloader data a Alliant website? They show 4.7 grains with a 115 grain bullet.

Welcome to TFF, Ron.

4.3 grains of Bullseye works for me with Berry's or Rainier's plated 124 grain 9mm bullet. This is a light load but it functions fine in all my 9mm pistols. You might want to go to 4.6 grains with a FMJ bullet.

I loaded 10 each from 4.3 to 5.0 and shot them last night...best groups @ 25' came with the 4.5 to 4.8..
I've also found a lot of different over all length. My factory are running 1.15.25 so I've stayed the same with my reloads. Shooting a B.92fs
Thanks for the welcome and replies,
Ron
