Factory load power factor

Recommended Posts

To start this off I gave a friend some of my comp. loaded 147gr 9mm to shoot (he was just plinking).  He really liked how soft it shot . It’s 130 PF   Anyway he wants to know if loads like this can be bought/ordered somewhere but I have no idea   So does anyone know if loads like this are available and where ?    Thanks for any help

I know Atlanta Arms sells some that marked as meeting major power factor requirements - not sure about minor PF. There's another company too but im struggling to remember the name. I remember they color stripe their cases and sold like sample ladder packs of ammo at varying charge weights; if that rings a bell with anyone

Thanks guys.

Apparently he’s trying to keep his wife into shooting (just target type stuff) lol.    I barely keep up with my own loading so hopefully he can find somewhere else to get similar loads

Run of the mill fmj factory 147 os going to be about 140-150 pf. As mentioned above, there are places that make it geared toward USPSA 

I didn't know this, that high? Thanks B

As far as Factory goes, I believe the Federal Syntech is the only thing that would be close to 130 PF, although I don't know any chrono data on them. 

I clocked Federal Syntech 115 grain at 1,187+-22 fps (pf=136+-2.5) and 124 grain at 1,082+-16 fps (pf=134+-2), both from Stock 2.

 

For comparison, Federal American Eagle 124 grain was 1,053+-34 fps (pf=130+-4).

Cool, good info to know, I guess the federal is a bit marketing hype compared to AE. Still pretty decent PF though.

FWIW, I used some Atlanta Arms 124gr at a match a few months back and if I recall correctly, the were 135 PF at the chrono stage.  They worked great that day, I can't say the same for me.
