VV320 and Bayou Bullet Load Data?

[Paladin]

Load data for VV N320 - 9MM - 147 GRAIN Cast Lead Bullet
Well, my reloading stuff is starting to arrive. I have:

4 Pounds of VV N320
1000 100M Federal Match Small Pistol Primers Mfr. Part: 100M
1000 Bayou Bullets Polymer Coated Cast Lead 9MM Bullets
Lots of once fired 9MM brass, deprimed and tumbled, ready to go

Now, any thoughts on amount of VV320 and OAL? One guy I shoot with suggests 3.3 to 3.5 range for the powder. Does that sound
reasonable? Is there an OAL length I should be loading to?

Shooting Springfield XDM 5.25 Competition Model in 9MM.

Interested in USPSA IDPA and Steel Target shooting only. Not self defense, bulls eye, or anything else.


Thanks.

First get a good load data book Lyman, Lee whatever and go with minimum until you can shoot them for accuracy and chrono them. That loading seems close by the way. I use bullseye with that bullet and have had good success.

By the way these books will give you oal and all saami specs as well.
