Hi,

An easy way to handle this, under normal circumstances, would be to go to WalMart and buy some Winchester NATO spec. ammo, which is +P Police/Military ammo. Look for boxes marked "9mm NATO".

Failing that, I'd check the various powder manufacturers' loading pages for specific loading data for the 9mm +P.

Hope this helps!

Plated bullets are a poor choice for +P ammo, as they are too soft and may actually tumble.
