  1. I have done some similar testing. When I first got started in PCC my plan was to use my minor load which is a 147 plated Xtreme over 3.4 of N320 making about 134 PF.

     

    I can't recall what that load was running out of my 16" Faxxon barrel, but  the recoil impulse was much more than I expected from a 9mm probably because of the reciprocating mass  and there was a lot of dot movement. After testing various weights I settled on a 115 plated with the same powder charge as for my 147 minor load. It makes about 1200 + change for around 140PF.   Felt recoil  and dot movement is much less and the dot settles quicker.

     

    We're talking about 9mm here so it's not as if it was beating me to death, but I like the impulse of the 115 over a 147.

     

     


     

     

  2. Hi everyone, my name is Alan.

     

    After years of mining info from the site, I thought it was time to join. For 10 or so years I've shot IDPA, started USPSA about 3 years ago and have been bitten by the PCC bug. Look forward to learning and participating.
