zzt Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I've been hearing good things about True Blue, so I thought I'd ask for your Major loads. I can actually get True Blue locally. I have been using Silhouette, WAC and HS-6 depending on what I could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer-x Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I first used True Blue for 9major in 2008. Overall, it is a great powder. Pretty clean burning, not temp sensitive and very dense - 14.2 grains to fill a 9MM case to the top. Definitely NOT a compressed load for our uses. I really like the smell when it burns too The major load I used in a 5.5" Trubor S2 barrel was: MG 124 JHP OAL 1.165 8.2gr 172PF With that said, I recently tried it with my new CK Thunder 9 and the short OAL this gun needs right now... not a good match. Very flat primers when loaded to 1.135 OAL and major PF. Recoil impulse was very harsh compared to similar HS-6 & WAC loads at same OAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris iliff Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Used True Blue exclusively for several years in .38 super and 9 major. Load listed above is almost exactly what I used in 9mm. Except I was at 8.1grains in my Custom open by by GAN's. I switched to Autocomp and liked it just a tad better in the 9. Ymmv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
