docscoutjr Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Anyone had any success with a 147g 9mm major round? Shot some Atlanta factory stuff, pretty neat. Want to replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevrofreak Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I've done it. It wasn't amazing to shoot. 6.6gr of HS-6 behind a 147gr RN plated bullet made major, but it was sharp in the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Heck back in the old days we shot 160's just stay with the gassy powders to work the comp as much as possible Edited April 28, 2019 by jcc7x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Tried it and stayed with 121's. I know someone who has been shooting it for a while and likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 For me, 147s don't allow enough powder to work my comp. Neither do 124s for that matter, at least to my satisfaction. I'm happiest with a 115 HAP over 10.3gr Major Pistol powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP is very fine grained and does not fill the case up to the top. In fact, the 115 HAP loaded to 1.161" OAL doesn't even compress the powder.
