Therealkoop Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Looking for a powder for 9mm with 124g FMJ projectiles. This is mostly for 3 gun so I'm not looking at making anything much past 135PF. My local fun store has some options in stock, but since I am completely new I wasn't sure which direction to go. These are what I see available for 9mm type stuff: Accurate No.2 Accurate No.5 Accurate No.7 Win WSF Win Autocomp (Already own 1 lb, suggested by an friend, I run an M&P 5" pro without a comp, might not be what I want exactly) Blue dot Bullseye Silhouette Thats all I can remember off the top of my head. If anyone has an opinion on what to start with I would appreciate it. Thanks. EDIT: I should add that the projectiles I ordered are here (also by recommendation): http://www.shop.rmrbullets.com/9mm-124-grain-Plated-round-nose-1000-count-1000-9mm-124-RNP.htm Edited November 22, 2013 by Therealkoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durtarg Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I use 4.0gr of Bullseye under my RMR 124s @1.135 OAL. This makes 132pf out of my M&P pro and G34. Have been using this load for almost a year now with excellent results. The 124gr HPs are really great also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can run them as long as 1.150. 1.145 is good for the RN 1.135 is good for the HPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried about going too high on pressure due to seating depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durtarg Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 You shouldnt have any issues with pressure with that load. Its a minor PF load, I have been running it for about a year now with zero issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durtarg Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Titegroup is a great 9mm powder also. Very clean and runs accurate. 3.9gr will make PF with 124s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziebart Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I use bullseye since I got 16 lbs when it's all I could find. I think it's just fine. Lots of people like titegroup locally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 shooter Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I like WSF and prior to that used WW 231 with some 124's. That load was about 130 PF or so and would tear out a hole at 15 yards making head shots at 25 doable even for me. But the WSF is softer shooting, at least for me.

Justsomeguy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 WSF, AA5, AA7, and Silhouette all will do well. I personally like Silhouette as it always gives me the power factor I want in either 9mm or 40cal with room to spare and burns cleanly and consistently. I have nothing against the other powders either and in your gun any could be outstanding, I just have really good luck with Silhouette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 WSF cost effective alternative to VV powders No flash for low light stages low standard deviations Soft push in hand-- very subjective meters well has been consistent for me with in a 30 degree temp swing fairly available I'm running 4.7 grs with either 124 HAP's or MG's, 4.3 with 124/125 bayou's or now SnS gold which I'm told is the same coating Bayou uses just a different color. Hope this helps by the way I've used all the other over the last 38 years and they work well also. I just settle in on WSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therealkoop Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up getting a lb of bullseye and a lb of WSF. Along with the autocomp I already have I should have a lot to experiment with. Also ordered some 147g projectiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
