    9mm Luger Load Data with IMR X700 Powder?

    Has anyone got any load data for 9mm Luger for 115JHP Zero projectiles and 124 FP Frontier's?
    There is a reasonable amount of data on line but the recommended charge weights are all over the place.
    I will probably start with 4.2gn loaded to 1.1" OAL with the 115 Zero's to start with.
    Plenty of other better powders around I know but I picked up around 20lb of it on trade me for $80 some time back. I use it for 12g shot gun reloads but also want to burn it all up in a 9mm.
    Enough to load 33000 rounds so it should last a year or two.

    It works ok I load it in 9mm .357 and .45 acp, just start a little low and work up it's pretty quick burning so take it in small steps, I don't use those projectiles so can help with data,
    I started at 3.2 gr with a 124 gr and a 115gr and work up in .2gr steps each gun is different so can't recommend a maximum load, work up until you get 100% functioning and fine tune
    for accuracy

    Wish I got 20lb for that cheap, runs well in my cz75 and I really liked the light recoil impulse at minor loads. From memory was 3.4gr but loads will vary on different guns, was very dirty though
