9mm reloads for IPSC OAL question? velocity and pressure

[UR2X3M4ME]

Gotcha.

Sigtactical data is not indicating the bullet weight. That could be misleading as many minor shooters use 124 or 125 grains bullets.

in details:
(950 fps x 124 grains) / 1000 = 117.8 PF --> Does not note make the Minor PF of 125
(950 fps x 147 grains) / 1000 = 139.7 PF --> Makes Minor PF

Using 9mm range brass, Federal SPP, 124 grain Berry's HBRN-TP; 1.169 OAL; very light crimp and out of a CZ shadow, here are the velocities I get for the following powder charges:

5.3 grains N350 --> 1034 fps
4.9 grains Autocomp --> 1028 fps (real messy on a non-compensated gun)
3.9 grains Titegroup --> 1032 fps (my favorite load)
3.8 grains Titegroup --> 1031 fps (using 124 gn Campro; 1.133 OAL)

About to test loads using HS-6, IMR7625 and HP-38. Just waiting for weather to warm up a bit.

So far titegroup has given me the biggest bang for the buck. And it meters so nicely - smallest velocity variations.

Hoping this helps.

EDIT: must be said - my loads may be a bit too light if your Shadow has original main & recoil springs, i.e. it may not cycle well. Test your loads before going for mass production. You won't hate yourself after if...
