Looking for a 147gr RN recipe

[NicVerAZ]

I bought a box of Frontier 147RN CMJs from my friend Gary Blunt and I am looking for a recipe with a PF of around 130-135, obviously barely power factor.

On my shelf I have Unique (I read that this does well with 147), Tite Group (my trusty but nasty 9mm power) and Power Pistol (barely used it).

I live close to a Sportmans Warehouse but they are always out of N320, if I see some I will pick 1lb just to test it out.

I shoot Production, by the way.

My GP6 likes OAL in the 1.150 / 1.165 for RNs.

Thanks in advance!

An old fart I know gave me 8 lbs of Unique a few years ago. I was using Titegroup in the 9mm 147gr, same as my .40. When I ran out of TG I started in on the Unique, got to 4.0 gr with 1.158". I haven't looked back. I still use TG for .40, but in 9mm the Unique is light, the powered almost perfectly fills the case, brass stacks up in one neat little pile, and nary a ftf.

Thanks. I also have some Universal.

3.6gr WST or 3.9gr WSF work well for me at 1.135-1.145"

[dskinsler83]

WST and S1K are good choices for N320 substitute

[NicVerAZ]

I also have some bullseye

[dskinsler83]

Get you a chrono and try WST, Clays, or WSF. That longer 9mm OAL will have you putting in a tad more than my loads but not much. Get a PF of 135-140 and you'll like it

Also wanna add that I use Xtreme plated bullets and Precision black bullets in 9mm. Jacketed bullets will take a tad more powder as well

I use Frontier 147's and Unique.

My load is:-

147gr Frontier CMJ

3.9gr/Unique

OAL = 1.115"

Velocity = 931fps

PF = 137000

Before you say that the PF is too high, I suggest that you try it first and then if you want to reduce it, do so.

The recoil is a straight back push. I use this load for IDPA/USPSA.

I use 2.6 of bullseye behind 147 and 160 lead.

Using Berry's 147 gr RN, 1.135, Solo 1000 4.0 grains (slower batch), ave 920 out of MP9, about 135 pf.

I have tried that last one and I am satisfied with it, will try in USPSA tonight.

I have scaled back the powder weight to 3.8 after testing 3.9 and 3.7.

Edit: I have to admit that I am very satisfied with this recipe:

147gr Frontier CMJ

3.8gr Unique

OAL = 1.115"

Range brass

WSP primers

Thanks a bunch!
