This may be a long shot, but I would really like to find some data for 115 grain FMJ 9mm that will run at subsonic velocity??? I'm currently using Titegroup powder but I'm not bound to that. I've been able to get the results that I was looking for with 124gr and 147gr bullets but now have a bunch of 115's to try out.

Any help that I can get would be greatly appreciated.

Most Hodgdon starting loads for 115g LRN are going to be subsonic.

Titegroup 3.9gr is 1075fps 25800CUP (pressure)
Clays 3.0gr is 954fps 25300CUP.

I see it now... I wasn't looking at the LRN loads because I'm using FMJ's... Will it be a problem to try the 3.9 grains of Titegroup with 115 grain FMJ bullets?

You could try. Starting load for Titegroup with 115FMJs is 4.0gr 1046fps @ 27100CUP. That starting load alone is 79fps under sonic.

The slowest load data I can find for 115grFMJ is AA#7 (6.8gr 871fps@20700CUP).

If you dont mind switching powders for the load, but want to stick with a Hodgdon, Win231 3.5gr yields 959fps @ 20700fps.

In all honesty, that starting load for titegroup looks ok. You could always trying backing off and Chrono'ing it.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to add the source of the load data for this post is Lyman.

Excellent, thank you for the help... I'm going to give 4.0 of titegroup a shot. The 4.3 I tried sunday worked really well so I'm hoping that 4.0 will be what I'm looking for.
