Has anyone tried Vectan A1 in 9mm Luger? I've found some locally at a very good price but reloading data for 9mm is next to non-existent. The burn rate for Vectan A1 is right between Win 231/HP-38 and Unique and the same as VV N330. It should be just fine but I'm concerned about lack of data. Is there something about this powder I'm not aware of or just one of those powders that has been largely ignored?
Nobel Sport Vectan A1 for 9mm Luger?

Vectan lists A1 for 9mm, 4.3gr as the start load and 5.4gr as the max load.
For which bullet weight? Do you have a link? The only load I can find is for 125 gr lead.

Pg.6, says 88gr bullet so I don’t know how much help it will be. There’s more load data for A1 in 45acp than 9mm by the looks of it, I ended up with some A0 and found this link as well as a PDF for shotgun load data. Which is what I’ll likely use it for, there’s an enter for a cast .308 round as well I’ll have to look at when the time comes.

There’s also cast 125gr Lyman bullet A1 data on pg.7 in 9mm.
I was hoping to find some 124gr & 147gr jacketed data but no luck so far.

Keep us updated on how it goes, I’m pretty sure I can get some A1 as well. Also for relatively reasonable prices, would be nice to have another option.
Will do. I will pickup a pound tomorrow and start in.

Nice, I see they also list some AO load data for the jacketed 124gr bullets. Thanks for the heads up.
Hers a couple more sources I found on Vectan powder . Miss the days of $25 bottles at western metals
