accu9 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 10+ grains will get you there but will require 1.175 plus OAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gng4life Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Here is a link on some discussion on that load but accu9 is corrrect: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136234&hl=%2B%26quot%3Baa+%2B%237%26quot%3B+%2B%26quot%3Bmajor%26quot%3B#entry1572366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xagent Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 i use MG 124's or CMJ 124's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'd be careful of using a recipe (10 grs.) without knowing which weight bullet was being used - if that's with 115 gr bullets, and you load a 124 behind that much powder - you might get a big surprise.

Should be a 124...in the link I sent it states a 124 with a OAL of 1.180. Accu9 listed it at 1.175 so they are on the same track. Of course, the OP should be starting low and working up to it watching for pressure signs and not loading right at that load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accu9 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I used to load 10.0 grains AA#7 with 124 JHP's @ 1.175 OAL. When I say used to, I mean- once I burned the few pounds of #7 I had I did not buy more. The load works the comp well, but was dirty and a massive pain to load on my 650 due to the fullness of the case. If I was shooting SuperComp, AA#7 would be near the top of my list. Pressure signs and 9 major are synonymous, there is just no way to get around it. It should go without saying but this load was safe in MY gun, Start LOW!

xagent Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 I've used a#7 in my 38SC but only winchester auto comp in 9 major. A friend used A#7 and said it did fine. I have a bunch of it so looking to give it a whirl..... Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRobson Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I currently use 9.4gr of AA7 with a MG 124JHP @ 1.165. I'm pretty sure it's in the 174PF range. The old lot I had took 9.9gr of powder. This stuff is dirty but shoots great. I would try 9.0gr @ 1.165-1.168 with a 124 JHP and see where you need/want to go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRobson Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Just to add. I'm shooting a fullsize 9, no holes, and a brazos thundercomp 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have any barrel holes, I second starting around 9 grains and working up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xagent Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 sounds like a good starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRobson Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Don't be scared to push it a little. 172-174 PF seems to be really nice with this powder. Now if I could only find more AA7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
