These are Hi-tek coated round nose 124gr 9mm lead bullets from Bayou Bullets. My load in near the bottom of the powder manufacturer's recommended load range for plated bullets - they have no data for poly coated lead so this is a guessing game. I compare my fps against the published range for min to max loads fps. I am about 16 fps faster than the lowest recommended load for plated 124gr RN. They are averaging 1056 fps and have a very light recoil with my Colt Govt 1911.
This is right what I was hoping for. I am using a pistol vice w/ a laser sight and I am getting a 1.7" spread at 20 yards. I shoot better right handed and keep this load within a 4" circle at that distance. A two-handed grip it spreads to a 5" circle. It was a good day. Now to load up the remaining 3400 bullets.
