  1. I've had really good luck with 185 gr. .40 Precision Bullets. My load is 4.0 gr. of Power Pistol with an O.A.L. Of 1.33. This gives me a power factor of around 135 in my STI, XD and Glock 35. Hope this helps
    As for powder, I stick with one....Alliant Power Pistol...clean, very versatile, have loaded them up with as much as 7.3 grains (very hot!), down to 5.8 grains. This powder works with just about every caliber I own.

    I too like power pistol and for my .40 major loads i use a 180 tc lead bullet with 5.9 grains for 175 p/f out of my M&P. I am working up a minor load and got down to 4.0 of power pistol and it was consistant, accurate and soft shooting but it smoked so bad i thought it was muzzleloader season :surprise: . Do you guys have smoking problems with this powder at lower pressures. High pressure rounds (see above) with the same bullet have very little smoke.

  2. Hi,

    I have been reloading for a while but am new to 9mm. I am looking for a suggested load for a CZ75 firing a 135 lead round nose bullet in 9X19. I want to make about 135 PF for IDPA and have the following powders on hand: 231, HP38, unique, power pistol and AA#7. Any load suggestions using these powders or others including maybe your load and a good starting point to load up from.

    Thanks for all help in advance

    Andy
