sk330lc Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I Have a good supply of Accurate Arms No.7. Is any one using this under 124gr FMJs in their 9mm.?Looking to develope a load for IDPA for my M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anachronism Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 #7 is a rather spirited powder that seems to lend itself best to full power 9mm loads. I just loaded 500 WW 124 gr JHPs at 8.1 gr, but I have seen data that goes much higher. I haven't chrono'd the load yet, but am expecting around 1200 FPS, if AAs loading data is ummm... accurate. I tend to load a bit hot on 9mm since my conversion to Berettas. Accuracy with the above load is good from my Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I've loaded AA#7 with a 124 grain bullet down to about 7gr for a minor steel load at about 1000 fps. It works and and is accurate, but is is a tad dirtier than when pushed hard to make major in open guns (and some folks consider that to be pretty dirty). If you got it and want to use it, I say go for it. There are no safety issues...just go by the published data since there is good load data from AA for AA#7 and 124 grain bullets.

sk330lc Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks guys. found a very nice load load for my 9mm M&P. the load is. Hornady 124gr fmj-fn over 7.4gr of AAno.7 using mixed cases, CCI 500 primers and a C.O.A.L of 1.050" have not Choreographed this load yet but it is extremely accurate and isn't all that dirty.

Had a chance to chronograph this load today through my 4.25" m&p 9. Averaged 1125fps 10 shots. At five feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk330lc Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Mine say 5 to 10 ft . "muzzle blast is the main concern". So to be exact the muzzle was roughly 5 to 6 ft from the chronograph. That's about two large steps. Is 10ft more accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CocoBolo Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yada Yada Yada, I've used AA# 7 with 124gr JHP's my load was 10gr at 1.180 oal, MagTech magnum primers. Yes boys that is 9 Major. Minor just takes less powder. AA#7 is best suited for 38 Super Major, in a compensated gun. If your gun is tight, well when those little gravel like pellets get in there (its the unburned powder) it will get hung slide, but if its got a bit of play you will be ok. If its acc-u-railed, forget it. W 10gr out of a 4.13" barrel I got 1443 fps. It is a bit hard on compensators as it is a bit abrasive. Be careful not to spill any in the bolt hole for the shell plate I did that and it stripped the bolt theads when I put the shell plate back on.

deanq Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 7.1 gr with 124 Precision Deltas. Avg. 1080 fps. I tuned the load to recoil as close to my previously loaded 115 gr loads as I could. I can barely tell the difference between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 AA#7 will easily make the min power factor, but I'm unsure how consistent it will be. I'm not surprised it might be dirty -- through my chrono, the standard deviation goes down as the charge goes toward max. Has anyone tried it with 147 grain minor loads?

homestayrva Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Reloading RMR New JHP 124 gr 9mm, 7.3 g Accurate #7, fed small pistol primers, AOL 1.09.50 with RCBS tapered Die, S&W m2o sheild, 3" barrel - tightest group yet. Primer flat so don't think I'll be shorten AOL. Tried AOL at 1.20, 7g Accurate #7 no pressure signs on primer but group much more spread out.

Thanks for posting you guys, have decided to load 124 gr. extreme plated round nose bullets with 7.5 gr. of #7 at 1.125 I'm hoping for good Accuracy out of my Glock 19 and my Beretta 92.
