Hello Everyone,

First post here, but been shooting and reloading for nearly 30 years.  Anyway, I recently loaded up a bunch of 165 Xtreme plated bullets with 9.5 gr of Power Pistol and the accuracy was dismal.  I was able to keep all the S&B factory loads I shot in the black at 33 feet, but the reloads were all over the place... like even off the paper.  Some of the holes looked somewhat oblong as well.

Is 9.5 too much for the plated bullets?  I didn't think this would be too much based on load data, but wondering if I was pushing those too hard.

Any thoughts?  Thanks.
