question concerning 124JHP to 124FMJ bullets

because of the shortages i will have to change from 124gr JHP bullets to 124gr FMJ bullets for 9mm.. i am presently loading WST - 5.0gr ---- 124gr PD JHP to a COL of 1.15 to shoot in my STI Steel Match.. .. i noticed of the 2 mentioned bullets there is some difference in length.. are they any adjustments either in powder or COL i should be making ?

I would back off a tenth or two and see how it goes.

I agree with Hoser if you extrapolate the bullet length differences you will have less cartridge area with the FMJ. I too would back off the power at least .5g and work up.
For reference I load a Bear Creek 135g moly RN 9mm with WST for my STI Spartan at 1.150 OAL, 4.0g consistently gets me 1000 fps.

As noted, both, since you are running the top end of WST. In low to midrange pressure leves, not as critical, but at the top end, everything matters. Drop the load back 5% & work it back up.
