neckbone Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The HP-38 swc 200gr cast bullet design is recommended for the 45 acp. Is there a "good" model/wt bullet for the 9mm auto loader (IDPA)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I like 130gr LSWC with a dia of .358 from http://www.bulletworks.com/bulletworks/bullet_prices.html. Prices shown are for 1K, not 500. I use 3.2 of Clays with a Tula KVB-223 primer in Winchester brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 A lead 122 LFP with a medium powder like titegroup will shoot 3in. at 50 yds in several guns.......For the games a 147 LFP is hard to beat as well....... I would recommend them being sized at least .357 for best results.... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougCarden Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Recoil impulse....up to you what you like. Use TG for either one. Some like a quick snap with a heavier bullet, some like a lighter bullet.....try them and see what you like... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivwarrior Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I like Bayou 147gr. Not sure exactly why, but I seem to shoot more accurately with it. Might be the softer recoil impulse, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I would suggest start in the middle with a 125gn or 135gn round nose or flat point. make sure it chambers nicely and then decide if you want to go up to stuff like the 147 or down to 120 or 115 etc. a 135gn is a very nice middle of the road load for a 9mm in practical shooting sports.

Prag Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I like 130gr LSWC with a dia of .358 from http://www.bulletworks.com/bulletworks/bullet_prices.html. Prices shown are for 1K, not 500. I use 3.2 of Clays with a Tula KVB-223 primer in Winchester brass. We've recently started casting and powder coating 9mm. We're dropping 130 gr bullets and will run some of these through Lone Wolf barrels, but primarily stock Glock barrels. May I ask what OAL you've had success with for the 130's?
