If that doesn't work, switch to 115s and use the 124s for minor. got some aa7 an 3n38 today hopeful to see results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 It might have served you better to do a smaller ladder with your loads. Say, start at 8.6 with the AA7, then to 8.8, 9.0, 9.2, 9.4, etc. Check for overpressure on those higher charged rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to but it was so finnicky on the powder that I just did what came out. This is more to find what even makes pf. I will test come home load more lil ladder from pf and up and see what I get. Thanks grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 FWIW, you will likely need a larger powder charge of AA#7 than 3n38. I needed about 1 grain more when I was trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawTime Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 So 9.6 of 3n38 made 174 and was pleasant. Aa7 @ 10.0 made 165. Unfortunately I had feeding issues due to the barrel being to tight up by the comp. sent it back to get worked on. Excited to develop this more. Thank you everyone for the advice. I normally find a load that makes pf and go with it. Finding the money spot is more fun and I’m sure will pay off in long run. Unless I use vv haha.

Hiroshi Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I tried three different powders so far, hs6 has less recoil than cfe pistol and N350 has softer recoil than hs6, all these test were around 168/170 pf.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawTime Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 I tried hs6 in my 9 major. I didn’t notice too much difference in cfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY BARONE Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 There are a lot of things to dampen slide velocity other than powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 less popples, better comp ( or same comp with less popples) lighterbullet with more powder, heavier slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty5thirty Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 You could also try adding a blue Wilson combat shock buff. Just 1 amd it takes done of the snap out of the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yigal Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 maybe it works on guns too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
