Anyone tried something similar to this? Just picked up some red dot and data isn't very abundant. What would you start the load at? I'm thinking somewhere around 2.8gr
If that is 4-5 rounds a second then we know it passes function check just fine. Other than smoke from lube burn off and less muzzle flip, what was your general impression of the load?
You also now have a baseline to work off of so if it doesn't make minor, you can bump it up a bit and see if you can make the threshold and still have competitive groups.
Any reason it seems red dot isn't popular for 9mm?

Berry's has standard plated and heavy plated bullets. The124 GR .38 super bullets are one example.Any thoughts anyone can share about Red Dot and the 124gr Berrys RN plated?
We recommend using hard cast load data or start with mid-range jacketed data. Make sure data is below 1250fps unless you are using a Thick-Plated bullet that we list a higher max velocity for like the 9mm 124gr HBRN-TP that can be shot to 1500fps in open class guns like a .38 Super. Keep in mind that since our plated bullet has the same pressure curve as a hard cast bullet, the published cast data will be very close to what you will get with our plated bullets. If you use Jacketed data with our plated bullets you can get from 5% - 8% increase in velocity using that data.
