I'm actually in the process of switching over to 147gr berrys. Still sitting on a bunch of 231 so it will be 231 for some time.

I use a Lee factory crimp die just enough to eliminate any flare.

I setup to run 147gr Extreme RN over 3.8gr Autocomp yesterday. Ran fine with a nice punch to them. Probably could dial it back a little. Haven't setup the chrono yet.

Using the Lee crimp/seat die for final station.

I was shooting 147 bayous over 3.4 of Win 231. Loaded to 1.14". They ran fine in my 1911 and M&P. Too long for the other guns. I might go back to this load or something similar with a light charge of Titegroup. But the 124s seemed to shoot a bit more accurately and will run in all my guns.

I run the 147gr Xtreme's for my 10yr old to shoot out of his G19. 3.6gr of 231 is a nice light smooth load that is dead on accurate for him.

Planning to p/u some 231 this week. It seems to be a good all-around powder for 9mm from what I read. How does it do in metering through a Hornady powder throw?

I load on a Dillon 650. 231 meters extremely well and consistent. Also a great powder for 380, and 45acp.

For plinking, I use 124 grain RN (Berry) with 3.7 grains Titegroup for S&W 9mm Shield. This load works fine for a 3.8" barrel on the Sheild, but insufficient for reliable operation in HK P30 (4.0 grains Titegroup works OK for plinking on HK).

^^^ This

I use it for .380, 9mm, .40, .45 It just works IMO. It can also be tough to find sometimes too. HP38 is the same powder, don't be afraid of it, it can sometimes be found when 231 can't.
