Nghthwk1911 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) OK I am looking for Real world experience with Hodgdon CFE Pistol for use with 9mm Major loads for Open Pistols.I am looking for actual Data in the following fields.Pistol usedBarrel LengthComp usedPoppel Holes Y/NPowder ThrowProjectile WeightProjectile ProfileJacketed or Plated or coated OALChrono DataI am Starting to work on this myself and will build my own data set but this this where I plan on starting.Pistol used; STI TruBoreBarrel Length; 5inComp used ; STI TruBorePoppel Holes; NPowder Throw; Starting point based on Attached data from Hodgdon's web page. 6gn to 7.2gnProjectile Weight ; 124Projectile Profile; HBFPJacketed or Plated or coated; Heavy Plate Berrys OAL; 1.150-1.160Chrono Data; So thinking that the test data used by Hodgdon is a 4in non-comped pistol I think Starting at 6gn I should be someplace in the 1370-1400 FPS with the intent to get and keep the FPS around 1450. And then again to repeat when I get my New Limcat Razorcat. Edited June 3, 2015 by Nghthwk1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nghthwk1911 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 So I have read this article, and I find it lacking in detail, and writer was not using a open pistol, while I found it as a good source for base line info it does not provide key info for the loading of 9mm major for actual open pistols.

Hi-Power Jack Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I read this article, and find it lacking in detail Seems to be detailed enough for me. I need to back off my WAC charge a bit, and work up, slowly, with a chrono. And, it should work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkreutz Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Look at posts 46, 49, & 50 (the rest of the thread is good too, but these give you a bunch of data). http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=195108&page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nghthwk1911 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 ^ thank you very much that is a great thread. I guess I should search for 9mm major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboy69 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Did anyone use this in a 38 Super? Is it a harder or softer hit? More auto comp feeling or 3n38 feeling? Any Data around? Edited June 4, 2015 by bigboy69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I haven't loaded it in 38, but in 9 it's close to WAC, maybe a hair harder in the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagacali Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I've tried it with my 38SC, it's a little softer compared with AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahlsan Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Is this loading comparably to WAC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have found it almost identical to Autocomp as far as loading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nghthwk1911 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Pistol used; STI TruBoreBarrel Length; 5inComp used ; STI TruBorePoppel Holes; NPowder Throw; 7gr CFE PistolProjectile Weight ; 124Projectile Profile; HBFPJacketed or Plated or coated; Heavy Plate BerrysOAL; 1.160Chrono Data; Average of 5 rounds 1335 FPS, making 165.5 PF. Felt good in the pistol, going to knock it up to 7.2 and 7.4 and retest. Also thinking I will shorten the OAL to 1.150 to build a little more pressure.
