Hi-Power Jack Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 7 hours ago, QUATTROISKING said: i can use all range brass I pickup correct? You don't want to use brass that is "stepped" - you can see it looking down into the case. I also don't use brass that is crimped (military brass), and some other headstamps that make it more difficult to reload - I have a short list of headstamps I don't bother to reload e.g. S&B. Don't use steel "brass" - in 9mm Major, they can wedge in your chamber very tight and be very difficult to remove. Also, look for any splits or damage to the brass. Otherwise, I reload "reloadable" brass over and over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do I need new brass to reload 9mm major Most range brass is good, however I usually stick to FC, Speer and Hornady brass for matches and the rest are for practice. In the past I have used new brass for major matches but honestly if you check over your brass and stick with brass that you know runs well through your gun you should be good without the added expense of new brass.

hitman Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 CFE Pistol is what I'm running now, like it more than WAC, Shill, 3N37 or AA7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaner and softer recoil than HS-6 which has been my powder for 9mm major. Just got in an additional 16lbs. Meters better than AA#7 which I tried earlier this year and didn't like at all. Dirty and leaking powder all over the press. I agree with this. SWMP is great stuff! I used to shoot HS6 and then I tried aa7 and WAC but then I finally settled on SWMP.

Loaded the same 10 cases 27 times with 7.3 gr winchester auto comp cci spm primers 124 Delta Precision HP at 15 loadings the rims began to get ruff at 20 loadings the first case split at the mouth 2 more split by 23 at 24 the first primmer issue showed up not loose but to tight could not insert a primer. stopped at 27 loadings a total of 7 cases failed for the above reasons. so my conclusion load till you loose the cases discard any thing that looks ruff Note most likely you'll lose the cases long before any issue shows up. Thank you for sharing that information AHI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dot tracks straight up and down while never leaving the window. When I shot HS6 it would go up and to the right. SWMP is a lot cleaner than HS6. As far as the others are concerned aa7 and WAC felt basically the same as HS6. After shooting those I was about to give up finding a new powder until a buddy had some extra shooters world on hand. However all this stuff is very subjective and each gun might like somthing different. Buy a pound of each spend the time and work up different loads to see what you like.

Underwood Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I been shooting 9 major for a few years was happy with AA#7 and last year switched the WAC.. I prefer the WAC over the AA#7 , main reason is i get more consistent OAL and my 1050 stays cleaner.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 What primers are everyone using for Major Pistol? I seem to be getting a lot of unburnt power using CCI small pistol.

sweatpants Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Very new open shooter here. I don't know what's better or worse but from ~1500 rounds through the gun the most remarkable parts of using AA7 are small amounts of sludge in the crevices of the gun and powder sticking to the hopper/funnel and sprinkling all over my press. The gun doesn't feel too punchy and the dot is pretty trackable. That said, I'll probably switch to SWMP and rifle primers after I'm done with the current stock based on feedback.
