wingnut Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Major load. In a 9mm case how much is the powder compressed using 124gr bullet with HS6 or Auto comp. Not sure if this is enough info. Not sure what the powder charge is to make Major PF of 171 or 172. I don't shoot open just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Not compressed for either hs6 or ac. about 8.2 grains of hs6 to make 168pf out of my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyman1876 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I’m at 7.7gr of Hs6 under a 124gr bullet with a 172pf. No compression at 1.165oal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 9.4gr of SP2 under a 115: Same burn rate as 3N38, just slightly more dense, don't be scared to compress powder, it doesn't hurt anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkadi Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 As an experiment, I filled 9mm case to the top with 3N38 and installed 124gn bullet on it. Primers looked ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) I've looked high and low for SP2. Didn't find any. wingnut, here is a pic that should help. All of these loads make Major with a 115gr HAP. I got this image from a Practical Shooting Down Range email link.

That's better than I can shoot ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
