We had lots of problems with the 147's loaded from 126.5-131PF(two different loads). Hello: I took my 12 year old son out today on our practice day and he shot the Glock 34. For major loads, in my open gun, I use N-350. There have been mixed reviews on them.Įven though I've been running Titegroup, for 9mm minor loads for years, I've been playing around with 320, and I think I'm going to switch to it. If you prefer/shoot better with 115 grain bullets, go for it! I saw at powdervalleyinc that if you got 10,000 tula primers they would cover the hazmat fee and was wondering if they are any good?ĭifferent people like different recoil sensations. I've only shot maybe 50 147g rounds which i was testing to see what worked best in my gun for selfdefense. Idk why but it just feels better and i'm more confident with the 115g. ![]() I have had good luck with Winchester and Federal, and I have loaded a lot of CCIs as well. I've had a lot of problems with Wolf small pistol primers and I'll never buy them again. For 9mm, that's 147 grain bullets, Solo 1000, and usually a Federal primer. My preference is the heaviest bullet that is practical for a caliber with the fastest possible powder. So, when you get close to the red line, pay attention to what happens to pressure signs (if you can see any beside sticky extraction), and don’t switch primers “because these are cheaper” or some other nonessential reason.Įditor's Note: This article is an excerpt from Reloading for Handgunners, 2nd Ed., available at are you shooting it in? If you're loading 9mm minor, I'd stay away from those 115 grain bullets before I'd worry about the powder you're using. Thus, it’s possible that our new combo can have one round in a box that generate 38,000 PSI and one in a hundred that generates 40,000 PSI. Do we really want to use something that now has a maximum average pressure of 36,500 PSI just from changing primers? Remember from the statistics chapter, the average means some (generally half) of them will be less, but half will be greater. They do not mention the primer, but let’s assume, for the sake of our thought experiment that changing to a different primer can increase or decrease the pressure by 2,000 PSI. (Again, I’m looking directly at the Hodgdon data.) They show the 240 maxing out at 1,331 fps over 12.1 grains of Longshot, at 34,500 PSI. We take a Nosler 240-grain JHP bullet and load it over Hodgdon Longshot. 45 ACP example) you can’t get in trouble with changing primers. So, as long as you stay in the middle (at least here, in our. We’ve boosted pressures but not so much that is actually a problem. ![]() If we change primers to one that boosts pressure, we go from 17,100 CUP to 19,100 CUP, which is more than max of the. We settle on SR-4756, where 8.2 grains nets us 966 fps. We want some 950-plus fps here, so we go to a slower-burning powder. We use the same bullet, but we load for some performance, such as blasting bowling pins. In this example, who cares if changing primers adds a couple of thousand CUP to the maximum pressure? If anything, it might make the 700X burn a little cleaner. ![]() This load is running at 71 percent of maximum. The listed pressure is 12,100 CUP, which we can’t translate directly to PSI, but is 5,000 under the max CUP for the. That gets us 821 fps, which is right on the cusp of making major. Let’s borrow from our good friends at Hodgdon and use their loading data chart, where we use 4.6 grains of 700X. 45 ACP with a bog-standard load, a lead 200-grain semi-wadcutter. As in, if you change primer brands, you might add several thousand PSI to your pressure (or, just as likely, lose several thousand PSI), and that could get you in trouble. ![]() The usual reason given to pay attention to primers is pressure control.
