I'm really looking to see what others have loaded the SS109's at. They do have a long bearing area compared to other 62's, so they will generate higher pressure with a similar load in a standard FMJ.
They are not known for being real accurate due to the insert anyway.
Thank you for your reply, anybody else have any good loads?

Thanks, John K
I think you will like the 2230 powder, I've been using it now for awhile, and for reloading data I use the Lee Modern Reloading Manual,(there are 22 loads just for 55 gr alone) . It has one of the biggest and best compulations of data out there, not limited to one or two powders or projectiles. I use it to reload all of my rounds, but I also use some of the others manuals out there as well
