Noximus03 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I have a buddy that swore by Unique in his 2011 Lim gun, but I've never heard of it for an open gun. Can you get your hands on any 3N37/8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhunt91 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 No Im in east Texas and am extremely limited in what I can get. I try to find ppl in Dallas area to look for autocomp and hs-6 for me when ever I can but not very much luck there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnyglock Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Silhouette is my favorite 9mm major powder. Soft shooting and makes major easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noximus03 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I was running 8.1gr of 3N37 at 1.155 OAL out of a Carver G17 open gun with a 4-port and a 13# wolf spring for 172 PF for years. Great gas volume and the comp worked great. Only issues I had with the gun were self caused, such as toying too much with the OAL which caused rounds to wedge in the mags. Other than that, when I left well enough alone the gun ran like a champ. If you ever get the opportunity to get some 3N, do it and try it. I'll be happy to share my data on it if you do.

bigstick0000 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I use hs6, favorite is 7625. I read that 7625 was going to be discontinued this year because its to expensive. Ive got a lot of friends using autocomp and cant find any anywhere. Friend just told me a wholesaler in Denver is driving to Tulsa to pick up powder. He is limited to 10 lbs of autocomp and he has about 100 people on the wait list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I use both 7625 and 4756 they'll both make open easy in 38 SC 7625 make super low SD loads in my nine minor loads 4756 is a good back up power for 40 major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetdocone Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 probably all of us are looking for 4756, and 7625. 3n38 is almost impossible to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdc Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Power Pistol major 9 Did it with 7.1 1.160 oal 124gr X treme plated Wsp Avg 1348 MP comp'd KKM 12lb spring but gonna try a 13lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mthomas0001 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Try AA #7 you will love it with 124 jhp bullets. It is a bit dirty but readily available and tracks just like VV N105. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've run VVN350, Trublue,Longshot, and Autocomp for major 9. Gun/comp configuration makes a difference on what powder works best.(Longshot is filthy stuff) Although 4756 is my "backup" powder for .38 sc, when I can't find VVN350, I can't get enough in a 9mm case to get close to major.

Boyeraz Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 CFE Pistol, is also a great new powder for major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynes_world_45 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 There were 4 sellers on gunbroker with autocomp yesterday. $40+ per pound but it was there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubecktech Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Sorry to be naive, but what is unique? It is one of the oldest and used to be one of the most common pistol powders around. It was the first powder I used when I began reloading in 1980. A very versatile and beloved powder although dirty. A flake powder slower than Bullseye but faster than Blue Dot. I have not been able to get any for about a year now but see it sometimes on Gunbot where it sells out in about 15 min. One of my favorite 9MM loads is 4.0 grains of it under a 147gr Barry's Plated bullet. Edited July 7, 2014 by Lubecktech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
