Just wondering why a longer OAL is the answer to your issue. Oops! I meant 1.118 +/- Yes I had 3 rounds that failed to feed and they were loaded between 1.125 - 1.135 so going to drop the charge a bit and load em a bit shorter.

Talon75 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Ok gotcha, typo threw me off a bit. Have you sized the chamber with a dummy round? That has worked well for me so far. I would also try to tighten up the difference in OAL to .005 as much as possible, I even run long rounds back through the seat die individually at the end of a session. I'm also thinking I might(and you as well) be able to go down to 3.2 and still meet 130 PF, I'm just going by feel though till I chrono.

FreedomOne Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The published load data for this powder is incorrect. I emailed the manufacturer and they sent me up-to-date load data. Enjoy page1334.pdf page1335.pdf page1336.pdf page1337.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon75 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Thanks for the updated info but I don't see 9.5 listed in any of that data, am I missing something? I do need to brush up on my French, been about 20years since high school. Quel temp fait il? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwbsig Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) I just read thur this thread and I'm just wondering why y'all don't like sport pistol is they a particular thing that's not good about it ? I thought it was a good powder ! Edited May 25, 2018 by Dwbsig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon75 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I haven't tried sport pistol. I just wanted to try something cleaner than titegroup and a local shop had the 9.5 on the shelf so it was an easy buy. I have been really impressed so far.

Blackstone45 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Bumping to share some 9mm load data that may be of more interest to European shooters (due to the bullet used) Powder: Vectan Ba 9 1/2 Primer: Magtech SPP Case: Mostly CBC (Magtech) with some S&B OAL: 1.07-1.08" (can't seem to get very consistent OAL) Bullet: Ares 9mm polymer coated 125gr conical nose (RNCNBB CEPRX) Data below is preliminary based on only 5 rounds per charge weight. 3.8gr: Average velocity 1026fps, 128 PF 4.0gr: Average velocity 1049fps, 131 PF 4.2gr: Average velocity 1091fps, 136 PF Based on this, I'm going to go with 4.0gr and will load up a larger batch to run through chrono.
