Sarge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 MAJOR or minor? I loaded some 9MAJOR with it as a test. It was OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 http://www.handgunsmag.com/competition/making-major-hodgdon-cfe-pistol-powder/ I used the 8.2g load under a 115g Xtreme hp and liked it. Gave me a 167pf 4.75 in barrel 4 port comp 2 poppet holes. I want to load some 9 major and see how it shoots too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dobbs Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'm only looking for Minor loads in the 130 pf range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfSpartans Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I use TG for the grain bullets you are looking for. I have used CFE Pistol for 147 gr Xtreme HP at that PF. I found it soft shooting. There was no published data for that recipe so i worked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I'm only looking for Minor loads in the 130 pf range. I use 5.2 gr of CFE under a 124 RN plated 1.15" oal. Gives me 136PF out of a 5" barrel. I have better accuracy at this PF than I do with lower loads. Edited August 28, 2015 by Bkreutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
