WatergoatWW 630 Powder
Found nearly a full pound of 630 in the back of my powder cabinet. Does anyone have good data for this in 9mm x 19 with 124 gr.jacketed bullets? May as well use it up.

Chris OrndorffI used 630 back in the 70's to load very warm .38 spl loads. Great powder! I'll check some of my older manuals tonight for 9mm applications.

WatergoatThanks, Chris! I have WW loading manuals from back when, but they only list 115 gr bullets, because that was all WW made at the time. I have several thousand 125 FMJ-FP pulled from 357 Sig. May as well use them up, not worth selling.

Chris OrndorffFrom Speer #10 using a 125 gr bullet:
9.3 = 1070 fps.
9.7 = 1121 fps.
It specifies using magnum (CCI 550) primers. I don't recall ever using magnum primers and my notes from back then (for revolver loads) don't mention their use.
A note of possible interest, the manual lists a MAX load of 11.1 grains/630 for a 125 gr bullet in
38SPL, while my personal notes show me going as high as 13.5 grains.
Good luck.

PCWyomingMy Hornady Third Edition 1980 shows WW 630 with a 124 FMJ. Start 8.0 for 1,000 fps to 9.3 for 1100 fps.

RKGAlways use magnum primers with Win 630.
Win 630 is much like H110 (but not load equivalent). I still have lots of it and use it for full house loads for a .357 Magnum carbine.

WatergoatI loaded up a couple boxes with 9.3 gr, shot very well, burned clean. Primers are Sellier and Bellot small pistol standard, used because I bought a bunch back in 07, and still have most of them left. First chance I have, I plan to finish off the can. Also did batches with Blue Dot and Power Pistol, will finish off the BD after the 630. If I ever have to buy more, (not too likely)it will be PP.
