I also haven't found published loads that will duplicate Cor-Bon's claimed ballistics in 9mm P. (115 JHP @ 1350)

Any specific suggestions on duplicating "Light Magnum" or "High Energy" factory loads?
Well as for the Corbon 115 +p's I can tell you how to get very close to duplicating it. However it's very tough to be specific 'cause I really don't want to be named as the cause of you blowing yourself or your gun up. :twisted:

However theoretically if you were to take some Power Pistol powder, start at the upper end of the load spectrum, the use a chrony, work the loads upward until you get very close or see extreme pressure signs on the casings.

You can get very close with AA #5 and magnum primers in a 9mm case as well.

HOWEVER the Chrony and the working up about .2 gr at a time are a must if you want to try it.

At the same time you can get some healthy speeds with Power Pistol just at the upper end of the suggested loads anyway.

Honestly though, other than loading up some ammo to store for a Katrina type event, why? I carry Corbon 115 +p's daily, but certain don't want to go to the range and fire 1000 rounds at that pressure. It's an extremely hot round that does stress your pistol.
