9mm 147gr berry.

[lacesout]

I have titegroup and win231 on hand... Should i invest in slower burning powders to load up some 9mm 147gr RN berrys? Help with this load would be appreciated! Ill need the OAL, powder type and weight. Thanks!

3.3 to 4.0 with 231 is a good range of loads to test.

id go even faster rather than slower. faster burning means less powder which means less gas which means less recoil (also cheaper since you use less)

most of the guys i shoot with use tite group with 147s

This is good advice. I loaded my 147 gr Berrys with 3.7 win231 and OAL of 1.125 and it was a perfect recipe for my Ruger SR9.

An OAL of 1.125 seems kinda short?

I use Longshot, Power Pistol & WST with my 147's. Works great for me!

I've loaded 147 Berrys over 3.8gr W231, with an OAL of just under 1.10. No issues. My Shadow didn't hiccup once.

OAL for 147gr is 1.169 for WSF
OAL for 147gr is 1.10 for every other powder.
