Classic load wanted
- Thread starter kgwalsh12
- Start date
I tried clays in my 9mm with 124 grain bullets a few years ago,I found it hard to make minor power factor without getting flat primers.Accuracy was also not great although the load did feel soft to shoot.Clays is just too fast for the 9mil and this would be even more the case with 147gr bullets.I do like this powder in my 45 however.
I have access to a chrono and manuals, i wouldn't be allowed to ask for a popular/common starting point?
Ok now keyboard hero.
A 'popular or common' starting point with an unlisted powder for 9mm is obviously the difficulty this user is having, Thus making that question wildly useless.
Which in turn, with the right knowledge and tools would result in a proper testing and work up of this powder in said cartridge.
Soooo, maybe with a chrono the OP could determine his own results if he/she is comfortable doing so.
If you are looking for a starting point. Here it is: stop trying to cut corners, don't use Clays for 9mm, go with good old trusted titegroup. With 147 grain jacketed bullet, 3.2 grains of powder, seated to about 28mm and gederal # 100 primer, you should get roughly 910 fps if you have same gun as I do.
