extreme bullet load data

[phuman]

I posted this in the general forum, then I realize I should have looked into this forum instead.

I am not sure if this was ask before. I am looking for load data for xtreme bullets. Any similar bullets that can be compared to this maker? Specifically 9mm 124gn RN plated. using bullseye powder and cci primer.

Thanks!

I load a lot of Rainer 9mm 124gn plated ammo and you can pretty much treat it like a jacketed bullet. I also use bullseye and typically load 4.5 grains. If I remember right that is towards the top end of what is recommended. I used to load 4.2 but figured that 4.5 would be closer to any self defense ammo I would use, so might as well get used to the feel of it at the range.
That is off the top of my head, but you should be able to do a little research on what is a recommended load for bullseye w/ a 124gn jacked slug.

Hey I appreciate that. That saves me less work of fine tuning that load. Thanks JClark!!

xtreme bullets emailed me a reference point to use Speer bullet load.

I disagree. I load Extreme 124gr bullets and I follow the Hodgdon reloading advice which is to use Lead bullet loads for plated bullets. I use 4.0gr of Titegroup which chrono's at 1100 FPS. If you are trying to load to IDPA or USPSA minor power factor you can probably go down to 3.8gr.

Also if you might want to try the 147gr 9MM bullets. I find felt recoil much lighter with 147gr.

1) Call X-treme
2) See what they say on their site:
"Load Info

Our Copper Plated Bullets can be run at mid-range jacketed velocities or higher end lead velocities. We recommend keeping velocities to less than 1500 FPS (Feet Per Second) and using only a light taper crimp

Any velocities over 1200 FPS we recommend either our Heavy Plate Concave Base or Hollow Point products for superior accuracy. We recommend keeping velocities to less than 1500 FPS (Feet Per Second) and using only a light taper crimp"
Based on this, you could either start at lead bullet or jacketed bullet starting loads and work UP TO mid-range jacketed or MAX lead bullet load, as long as velocities are under 1200 fps.
3) Use standard plated bullet recommendation as used for about 20 years: Use lead bullet data and keep velocity under 1200fps--unless you are shooting the think plated bullets referenced.

Good info here thank you for posting.

I got my .45 ACP 230 Gr RN and 9mm 124 Gr RN in today. Little long on the shipping from Exteme. Most likley load some up tomorrow.
