I am reloading some 9mm and have some 95gr.jhp Montana Gold .355 bullets. They are designed for .380acp usage, but I would like to use them for plinking in my 9mm pistols. I am using Federal primers and IMR 700X powder. I need a recipe for this combination and a C.O.L. Anyone here have any experience with this combination? I am grateful for your help and information. Thanks.

  dcs shooters I saw that on their website. I do not know how much of a difference there is in JHP and FMJ as far as grains of powder and COL. I am loading JHP. Thanks for your help!

  "I do not know how much of a difference there is in JHP and FMJ as far as grains of powder and COL"
  Generally, don't use the max load and don't seat the bullet deeper in the case than the prescribed bullet would be.
