    Default conversion ?

    anyone have or know a good place to get some reloading data, or any info at all, on the 9x25 dillon round? I picked up a barrel and a few boxes of ammo today for my glock 20, it seems like a sweet little round, and having 16 rounds on hand that go 1800+ fps with close to 900#'s of energy on your hip is comforting while in the woods.

    printed loading data:
    2nd Edition Lyman Pistol and Revolver Handbook, Page 91

    the 9x25 homepage seems to be offline?? Not sure how long its been that way.
    90 grain bullets at 2000ft/sec--- 2400ft/sec out of a carbine or 2000ft/sec with a 147 grain.
    make sure and change to a heavy recoil spring too.. not just the barrel swap

    For those who don't know:

    10mm, 9x25, 40S&W, 357Sig, 9x19

    Here's another some data I found:
    http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228796
    (bunch of data--Read the whole thing)

    "All loads below are Winchester formed brass.
    CCI-350 primers
    COL 1.285" (The longest that would function in my G29 magazines).

    Measured velocities are from a 3.8" Barsto Barrel in a Glock 29. Chronograph is at 8 feet, and all are 5-shot averages.

    95 grain Remington FMJ (For 380 Auto)
    13.3 grains 800X (Primer falls out at 14.2 grains in MY gun, so this is MY max safe load of 94&#37
    1772 FPS

    95 grain Rem FMJ
    9.8 Grains Universal Clays (same as above, primer falls out at 10.5)
    1677 FPS
    3/20/04 Update
    9.4 Universal Clays produced the desired MAX .4290 head expansion
    9.8 produces more than .4290 Head expansion for some rounds in MY GUN!


    95 grain Rem FMJ
    20.0 grains H108 (Case FULL. H108 is similar to AA#9 from what I understand)
    1656 FPS

    95 grain Rem FMJ
    21.5 grains H110 (Case Full)
    1556 FPS

    147 Speer Gold Dot
    11.0 grains 800X (From McNett)
    1438 FPS
    Need to investigate this load. It produces a few rounds with higher than desired head expansion in my gun. 4/5/04

    147 Silvertip
    15.6 grains H108 (Compressed load Hollowpoint slightly deformed)
    1306 FPS

    147 XTP
    15.6 grains H108 (Compressed load Hollowpoint slightly deformed)
    1351 FPS"

    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Its a tough round to load for. It doesent like long ogive bullets like some of the normal FMJs. I used N110 and H110 and Hornady 115s. Its not easy on your elbow and ears either.

    I've been getting the understanding that it is not reloader friendly by reading what little info I could find, and that it is extremely loud, but with 2000+ fps velocity, and close to 900#'s of energy, and 16 rounds of capacity, I had to try it, they are going to love me at the indoor range later this week.
