Great info. I will looking into other powders. On the other hand, I had pretty good results with the CFE powder with loads of 3.8 and 4.0gr of powder. Springfield 5.25 9mm 3.8gr Average Velocity: 994.5 FPS 4.0gr Average Velocity: 1025 FPS CZ Scorpion 3.8gr Average Velocity: 1086.8 FPS 4.0gr Average Velocity: 1115.2 FPS 1” groupings @ 25 yards Temperature: Texas *#&* heat 101DegF

What powder do you recommend for the Precision Bullet 147gr? (PolyLube coating bullet)

I new to this. What would a faster power do? In what way will it help to shoot flatter?

Great information. I will be going to the range today and test a new batch. I bought a chronometer to measure the bullet velocity. I haven’t changed the OAL since the previous test the accuracy was great and consistent. My my goal is to tune the load and change the recoil spring to get the XDM 5.25 to shoot as flat as possible.

Does the OAL have a lot of effect on the bullet performance? I am basically running the same load but my OAL is 1.100.

I bought 9mm 147gr precision bullets and I want to load them with CFE powder. Has anyone had any experience with this load configuration?I made a batch of samples with the following recipe:CFE powder 3.5 gr and 3.8 gr with the OAL set at 1.100”. Test:XDM 5.25 18 lb and 16 lb recoil spring bench tested. Both the 3.5 gr and 3.8 gr groupings were 1 1/2 “. This test results were great in accuracy, but I would like to hear if anyone has had any experience with this bullet configuration?
