tanfoglio1911 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Anyone use Accurate #7 for 9 major? I would like to try this powder and don't have a recipe to start with. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsoncustom Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Yup its my favorite major powder so far. 115gr Oal 1.140 9.7gr aa7 Winchester brass and fmj bullet. Also seems to work fine with coated bullets my oal is about .050 shorter tho and the charge is just reduced a tad.

thompsoncustom Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I fell it does a much better job keeping the gun flat compared to other powders like WAC just because of the amount of gas created/charge size. Oh course if your running a 124gr bullet your losing some of that due to the lower charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out and tried some loads using Accurate #7. I like it a lot, it is more flatter and softer compared to the current powder HS6 I am using. I get a power factor of 172 at 9.5 grains. I think this will be my new favorite load. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to hear what you think of the AA7 in comparison I have shot both of these with a 124 JHP. The 3N38 is a little softer and flatter but a pain in the ass to load. AA#7 is closer to HS6 when running a 124 bullet. 9.9gr AA7.....124gr PD JHP.....1.180".....WSP 8.9gr 3N38....124gr PD JHP....1.190".....WSP.....compressed load Tried in 2 different guns: 5" KKM barrel with 3 holes 4.5" SV Hybrid barrel with 2 holes Hope this helps.
