chevrofreak Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 In 9major I ran 10.5 under an Everglades V2 at about 1.170" and it shot well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacivilian Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Heard this stuff is "eating through barrels." Can anyone who has been shooting it for a while share their experience/ round count? Interested in shooting it in 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_stw Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) I really like aa#7 for 9 major, I'm using 9.6gr 1.170oal 125gr zero jhp 173pf and as far as 115gr I've loaded to 10.2gr 1.150oal 115gr zero jhp but it was only at 167pf thats to close for me so ill need to go up a couple 10th's of a grain to get me around 170ish where id be happy to be at. 5.5in kkm no holes.

idHawk Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I've been considering a switch to AA#7. Been running CFE pistol, but I am looking for something a little slower burning. Anyone else made the same switch and if so, what are your thoughts? Looking for something to drive the comp a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I used to run it in my 9mm SV IMM with 115 gr. 10.5 at 1.165 -1.170 Made 169 PF. Same load out of my new to me Shorty Bedell makes 160PF so I will try 124s with this gun. I liked it much better than Autocomp/CFE Pistol. My favorite powder for 9major.

Shmella Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 People complain about how dirty it is. I honestly never really noticed a huge difference. Its dirty i guess. I used to shoot 1000 rounds in between cleaning and never had an issue. And my definition of cleaning is not very thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomjerry1 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 No popples, 3 port comp, it is not as clean as vit, but I clean every 1000 also, or right before a shoot, I don’t notice any erosion on the barrel, about 7000 rounds since new. AA7 cleans up easily, you’ll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started with auto comp/cfe, tried #7 shortly after going to open and could tell a drastic difference in the gun, softer more gassy flatter shooting. 3n38 vs aa7, my thoughts after shooting 4lbs of 3n38, is it's allot cleaner, and fills the case more, in comparison I loaf 10.3 gr if #7 and 9.3 of 3n38, gun feels the same shooting these two powders, but due to price and availability #7 is the way to go.

Acsr Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) The only downside is its dirtier then 3n38, but i clean my guns after every match/ practice so in a nutshell i would say no, shoots nice is soft, gassy and meters well when loading readily available and is priced fair, checks all the boxes for me.
