Marc82Much Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) If my new Bayou Bullets come today, I will have some time to reload...looking for some ideas! I have 4 powders to choose from: Titegroup Universal Clays HS-6 Alliant Bullseye Which powder and what amount might you recommend to start with the 9mm green (Moly coated) Bayou 147 gr bullets? Thanks. Marc Kenosha, WI Edited November 25, 2011 by Marc82Much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic_jon Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Out of all of those I would go with titegroup but otherwise, I am an N320 guy. Do a search in the 9mm forums for loads with 147gr and you should come up with a bunch of hits with the info you are looking for. It will also help for people to answer to know what gun you are using as OAL's can vary depending on the gun. Also, Different guns barrels are different, so what may work in one gun, may need some tweaking in another to be accurate and make power factor.

pivoproseem Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) not titegroup, burns too hot. I love Solo 1000 with my green bullets. Edited November 25, 2011 by pivoproseem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyNo! Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Not Titegroup for Moly like he said. Not HS-6 for minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Bayou's dont smoke bad like black bullets with titegroup. I would expect that 3-3.2 gr would make minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I haven't tried the Bayou yet but they are not like molys and from what many people said, they don't smoke with TG. Some are even using them in 9Major and reporting very good results and very little smoke, again, not like lead or molys. I like N320 also but of those, I would probably go with TG.

The_Vigilante Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Bullseye is also ok for use with 147g bullets-I've used anywhere from 3.0g to 3.5 grains depending on how hot I wanted to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hello: I vote for Tite Group. I have used it for some 40 Bayou bullets and it works fine. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03k64 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 3.1gr Titegroup with a 147gr moly bullet at 1.125" shoots very nicely out of my G34. I don't notice the smoke while shooting but when I watch the videos, it's very noticeable. When I'm out of TG, I'm going to switch to Solo 1000 since that's what I use for .40 and I have plenty of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopshooter Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 out of those i would second vote tring the Bullseye or titegroup (start low) but my favorite lead bullet powder is solo1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throttleup Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Marc, I'm sorry I cannot help you with those powders. I'm a dinosaur and still use Unique for 9mm. With 147 gr. Bayou's 3.3 grs. gives me 130 PF in my Springfield Armory 1911 Target Model and 3.5 grs. gives me 131 PF in my S&W M&P Pro. I use Bullseye in my .45 ACP but have never tried it in a 9mm.

blaster113 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 of the four I would use Titegroup, though it may smoke some with the moly bullets. used to use Titegroup and lead/moly in .40 major and talk about smokescreen... Universal seems to recoil more than comparable powders but is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 N320 and Solo 1000 are excellent with moly bullets, though I think Solo 1000 is probably the better value cause of the much cheaper cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieF Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've used nothing but Bullseye with Bear creek moly coated bullets. Which should be very similar to the BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I have used TG, 231 / HP38, N320 and CLays, not enough experience on the rest to claim any expertise on them My loads for Moly / Polymer coated bullets is as follows. 125gr 1.125" OAL for all. TG 3.8gr Clays 3.4gr 231 / HP38 4.0gr N320 3.7 to 3.9gr depending on how old the can is. All should out of a 5" barrel produce 127pf or thereabouts.
