Stymie12000 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) 10.4gr. 115gr Montana Gold JHP. 1.150 coal. Range pickup brass s&b primers. 9mm Right at 175pf flattest load I've come up with. I've tried auto comp, shilouett, hs6, win 572, 3n38 powders and tried 115 coated and 124 bullets. I pair with a 8# variable wolff spring and 10oz slide. Infinity sight tracker barrel 2-3/16 people holes and Cheely titanium comp. This is also the most accurate load I've come up with. Very accurate. 3n38 is probably just about the same but I cannot get the bullets to seat consistently @ 1.150. Plus 3n38 likes to spill while loading and is $$. I can load longer but notice that velocity spread opens up if I load longer. I think it's due to neck tension or lack of. Only problem I have is that #7 is dirty. Probably the dirtiest powder I've tried. But I clean often so it doesnt give me problems! Edited November 8, 2018 by Stymie12000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone who has been shooting it for a while share their experience/ round count? Interested in shooting it in 9mm. It doesn't eat through barrels. I started shooting it exclusively in 2016. Shot enough to break 5 slides but haven't worn out a barrel yet. Mostly KKM barrels, one SV ultimatch, and one SV AET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwane Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I shoot 121g Campro @ 1.255 over 10.5g ... sweet! Softer than my old 9.6 3N38 load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwilmot Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 10.5gr AA7 115 Everglades v2 JHP @1.160 173PF 5" barrel commander slide with 2 5/32nd holes. Gun is dirty after every match but as long as i dont over oil the gun the dirtiness doesn't matter . Soon as you over oil you start to get a sludge build up that will slow your slide down after 500 or so rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new stuff is OK, possibly made in a different location as well. I'm going to it next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvc4you Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 For those using AA#7, when I tried it, had powder spilling from the powder bar sides (Dillon RL 1050). Any solution for this? Does anyone use the Arredondo’s plastic powder bar replacement?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was an update to the fit of the powder bar at some time to help with this. Mine have been good. One eventually got tight on me, but no leaking and after removing the powder bar, cleaning everything out, and sanding where the bar was dragging a bit it's smooth again. Have you tried contacting Dillon? They may help you out with newer parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was masking tape. He cut it to cover the top of the bar. He said in the post that the arredondo was better but still didn't work as good as the tape. I'll try to find the post.

I will try the masking tape modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
