Arkieron Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I am looking for a accurate 9mm load that makes minor in 5 inch govt using 147 gr lrn with WST powder. I appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm loading 4.1 behind 130s, so you might start at 3 grains and move up in .2 increments. I'm thinking I used 3.5 a couple years ago with 147s, but can't remember for certain and don't have it in my log book for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkieron Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 3.5g wst, 147g rnfp with OAL of 1.13 produced stovepiping in my Springfield 1911 9mm. The same pistol is handling 124g with 4.0 231 pretty well with oal of 1.12 and. That later load won't make minor. I am going to try 3.8g on the wst with some at 1.12 and a batch at 1.13. There is sure conflicting data on this powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have never seen any pressure tested data supplied by W-W for WST in 9mm. In contrast Alliant/Hercules had lots of data for Bullseye in 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
