For the great minds of the Forum:
I shoot a lot of steel, pistol, rifle, western, etc. However I also do a lot of CQB shooting with variations of a 270 range.
As such, I have always shot Ball ammo. I have picked up 1k rounds of SinterFire Bullets 9mm (355 Diameter) 100 Grain Frangible. I have shot factory Frangible, but never reloaded them.
I understand that it requires a delicate hand, very minor tapered crimp, etc.
Do any of the great minds have any experience loading Frangible 9mm? SinterFire has load data, however very limited powder options, none that I have in stock, and I don/t really want to purchase yet another powder just for the frangible.
Input and comments are welcome by all ! ! ! !
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

I have no reload exp, but I have seen a can destroyed by sintered rounds.

Re: 9mm Frangible Rounds - question for the great minds
I have never reloaded the frangible rounds either. It's has been a while since I reloaded. I stuck mainly to the lead or jacket for my competition loading or practice. Will be interested to see what you find out. I would query YouTube and see what they have on there, but then take the videos with a grain of salt, watching a group of them and combining the info and throwing out the extremes. In addition, the bullet manufacturers should provide data, and you can call the powder manufacturers for the powders you have and see if they have data for the rounds they haven't published in general release.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Re: 9mm Frangible Rounds - question for the great minds
Thanks Marine ! Sinterfire has reload data, however they are powders that I do not have in stock and I am trying not to have to buy another powder for a single round type.
Contacting manufactures are a good idea. I was hopping to use Bullseye, Unique or HS-6. I am wondering if they may be considered to hot for the frangible.
