9mm Minor load with 124 grain Bayou Bullet and Blue Dot

[dwr461]

I'm almost out of the powder I have been using for 9mm and was only able to find Blue Dot. Has anyone got a starting load they developed for this combination? I'll be using a SP01.

I feel your pain, standard pistol powders are like hen's teeth. The best I can come up with is 7625 for 9mm. I'm getting a consistent 933fps from 4 grains of 7625 with a 147gr Xtreme Bullet.

Yeah I'm going to try trading it. If that doesn't work I'll go with heavier bullet weights. Blue Dot seems to work better in 9mm when you get to 147 grains and above.

I have a friend that uses Blue Dot so if you decide to sell or trade for Brass or Lead let me know.

Thanks JBP55 I have everything I need except powder. But if I change my mind I'll let you know.

From my extensive history with 9mm, you should have bought the Red Dot instead of the Blue Dot. Much better for what you are looking for.
