Emmon Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'm looking to make an order of powder for the summer and I don't know what to get. My plan is to practice for GSSF shooting, so there isn't any power factor issue, I just need loads that cycle reliably in my gun(a g17) and are low/moderate recoil. Can anyone recommend a powder for me that will meter well in a 550, pour out if double charged, and allow me to cook up a nice low/moderate recoil load? 147 gr precision delta fmj mixed brass cci/win small pistol primers If you have a special place to order it from, that could help too... I was just planning on using powder valley. I have some blue dot and AA #7 on hand for 10mm reloads, thoughts on these for my 9mm load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkbrd Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Playing with Solo 1000 now. Like what I have seen so far. Feels like 320 at 1/2 the cost. Not as nice as 310 but thats a whole other animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord torquestick Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Using Solo 1000 also. Clean burning and 3.7 grains does an excellent job in my gun with that 147 form precision delta. Just work up your load first..some of the 1000 is slower burning from one lot to another. I got lucky and have the fast lot. The barrel seems to stay cooler after multiple rounds and no unburned powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Solo 1000 or Titegroup. Many loads on here for a G17 running 147gr bullet. Anywhere around a 135PF cycles the gun and is quite soft shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierra77mk Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'm using WAP which is now Silhouette. Good results but I do want to try Titegroup. I have to load heavier than I need to get good groups and there is some unburnt powder. I'm hesitant to try solo1000 because of the lot-lot variances I read about here. BTW this is with the PD FMJTC bullet. I went with it because the most accurate bullet I ever used in 9mm was the Winchester 147 TC match which was discontinued years ago. This is the closest bullet I have found to that old Win bulet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookselk Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'm also shooting GSSF and am playing with several different bullet weights. One of them is a Precision Delta 147 tc, I am loading 4.5 power pistol or 3.9 Unique. They are both bulky powders that make it obvious if you have double charged and they are both relatively cheap. I like Power Pistol just a bit better because it meters better and is more consistent. Both will shoot less than 2" from my Glock 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob DuBois Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I had an old batch of Solo 1000 that was given to me a few years back. Very pleased with the way it worked out. Bought a new jug and it's a little slower but have been pleased with every bullet weight 124 and above. Latest run was 124 Frontier Plated with 4.6, OAL 1.135, 128 power factor in my Trojan. I don't think you could get enough Solo 1000 in the case to shoot a 115gn bullet without spilling powder on the shell plate. Works even better with 147gn bullets but need to work up new load with my new lot as it's a little slower than the old batch. I would recommend Solo 1000 to any one shooting heavy bullets in a 9mm. I've seen a lot of positive feedback in 9mm, wonder if anyone has tried it in 40S@W with 175gn to 180gn bullets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Spiess Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I've seen a lot of positive feedback in 9mm, wonder if anyone has tried it in 40S@W with 175gn to 180gn bullets? Check the 40S&W forum, but yes, Solo 1000 is awesome in .40 with 180/185 bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrash Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 My favorite powders for my Glock 17/34 using Precision Delta 147gr FMJ-TC and FMJ-RN is: Accurate #2 Accurate #7 IMR SR4726 Hodgden HS-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkatz44 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) Okay everyone. I am looking for a 135 pf load using Precision Delta 9mm 147 gr FMJ. This will be shot through a G34? What powder? What OAL? Edited May 11, 2010 by jkatz44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Okay everyone. I am looking for a 135 pf load using Precision Delta 9mm 147 gr FMJ. This will be shot through a G34? What powder? What OAL? I just tested a batch of 147 grain MG, at 1.135" in Winchester cases, with S & B primers, and 3.8 gr WW231. Came in at 34.4 pf. Same load with 3.65 gr WW231 came in at 130 pf, and was a little more accurate, in my BHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hostetter Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I load to 1.125 OAL and use either 700x, WST, or PB. I like PB the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkatz44 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) Are Precision Delta 147 gr FMJ about the same as MG 147gr FMJ? Edited May 12, 2010 by jkatz44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babob Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 "What powder for 147gr precision delta 9mm?" Alliant American Select. As they advertise....Ultra Clean Burning. Fills the case up. I just switched from using Berry's 124 RNDS to Berry's 147 RNDS bullets. I prefer the "pulse" recoil as to the "snappy" recoil I get with the 124's. My 124's were making 134,000 PF out of my G34 and the 147's are making ~132,000 PF out of the same gun. Berry's 147 RNDS CCI 500 or WSP Mixed brass 3.3 gr AAS 1.142" OAL Avg. 900 fps or 132,300 PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
