Anyone using Tru blue for 9mm major

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.

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.

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.
