jkrueger Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have searched a bit and found autocomp is suited to high pressure loads, how about less than max? I currently have no reason to load anywhere near 9 major and am able to get the powder pretty cheap. Anybody running relatively mild autocomp loads?

promtcy Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm not running it although I have tested it. I got really good accuracy with 5.0 grains under a 115 grain plated bullet loaded at 1.15 COL. That was out of a Para Pro Custom P18.9 with a 5" barrel. It averaged just over 130 PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Because I have a post election shit-ton of WAC, I tried some PCC loads. My open pistol load is 6.9 gr. I tried 5 and 4.8 grains which gave 153 and 147 PF in a 16" JP barrel with a 125 gr coated bullet. I am now playing with 4.4 but I won't get to chrono until Sunday. It feels pretty much like my 132 PF N320 load, but dirtier. But, since this a blow back gun, clean is relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrueger Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Dirty burning or incomplete powder burn was one of my concerns, any other drawbacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oteroman Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Do you have a current load book? If not get one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel6 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 In open I use a 124 CMJ and WAC and when I went back to shooting Limited I decided to load some milder loads using the 124 CMJ and AC (since I had it) to use as a "shooting" load. I found 4.8 grs of AC behind a 124 gr. CMJ gave me right "around" 1,000 fps (950 fps in both my HKP7M13 and my S&W 929 revolver and 1,050 fps in my Glock 17L) in a few different 9mm's and it seemed to burn clean. I figured I could bump it up a bit and get a minor load easily if I wanted but it shot fine so I loaded up some to shoot. Next time I may look at just making it an even 5.0 grs. I also shot some through my 9mm KelTec carbine and they shot well also. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkreutz Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I've found minor PF loads are a bit dirtier than my major PF loads. Since I don't shoot minor PF loads anymore it hasn't been a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the data you are looking for, I can post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found exposed base FMJ's still gunked up the gas cylinder and closed base JHP's or CMJ's kept it real clean. So when I wasn't shooting up all the CMJ's I had I decided to load some up to shoot in the P7M13. Once I did that I tried them in the other guns to see how they were performing. Yes I know they were very lite (and I should have bumped them up) but they shot OK so I went with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herky Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I am using 5.3 grs of WAC with 124 grain plated or FMJ in a Glock 17 production, Les Baer SS, and PCC. Production/SS load is about 134pf, with the PCC higher around 145-150pf. Performs very well and accurate in all guns and, from what I see, clean.

I am going to try a lighter load when I get the chance. This load shot well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
