Mturnbull333 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Running low on 3N38 and have a opportunity to pick up some 105, any body know if it is suitable for 9maj? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It'll work just fine. I ran it about .2 grains more than 3n38 so its a pain to load. You just have to load very slow to avoid slinging powder. I didn't like it as much 3n38, though. It felt a little on the sluggish side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Can you fit enough of it in the case to make major with 9? I've been told it fills an entire 38SC case.... ps... Should move this to the 9/38 sub forum...probably get more responses Edited June 26, 2014 by Rambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you have to remember that you're running much higher pressures in 9mm so it takes less powder to make the same PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 People underestimate how much powder you can get into a 9x19 case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I should clarify. I used 105 with 125 grain bullets at about 169 PF out of a shorty with 4 small barrel holes (brazos pro sx). That same load produced 175 in a full length pistol without bbl holes. So, unless you're using a hybrid bbl with the large bbl holes, you can make major with 105 in 9mm.

thermobollocks Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 There's a different shellplate bearing you can get to keep the thing from clicking over so aggressively and spilling powder. I've never tried it personally. http://hitfactorshooting.com/products/products.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I use N105 in 38super...it ends up being about 1/8th inch from spilling out at 10.5 with a 115 mg jhp...I'm making 172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried it personally. http://hitfactorshooting.com/products/products.html I run this product on my 1050 and it does seem to help with the spilled powder issue on the compressed powder loads.

Mturnbull333 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 When running 9maj we just take the bearing out and get zero spillage actually runs pretty smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mturnbull333 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 The bearing stops the shell plate in the correct position but the 1050 has guide rods on it that help line everything up also, without the bearing the snap is gone and it still lines up correctly.
