Accurate No.9 in a 9mm ?

[basicbill]

I was at a local gun shop and they didn't have any Titegroup powder so I thought I might try a different powder. I bought a pound of Accurate No.9 but when I checked the loading data there isn't anything listed for 9mm.

Does anyone use this pistol powder in 9mm Luger and if so; what's the recipe?

I could probably exchange it for Accurate #7 but the store is 50km away so I figured I'd check with the CGN pro's.

We used to use AA #9 in full power .41 and .44 mag loads for silhouette shooting--as I recall it is not that well suited to the 9mm.

Its good for 10mm, but 9mm..... not so much.

I think you want AA#5 for 9mm.

No data listed on their website or any of the other resources I use. It seems to be a magnum powder. 11 or so grains in a 357 sig to get 1200fps with a 125gr FMJ is what they list, 39,000psi OAL of 1.14. So in other words, ITS NOT A SAFE POWDER FOR 9mm, use at your own risk. You probably couldnt pack enough into a 9mm case to make it work right

Thanks everyone. I exchanged it for a pound of No.7 . Ran 25 rounds and I'll test fire tomorrow.
