Mcfoto Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I don’t use any of those powers but I do load those bullets in short colts. Use load data for 9 mm. Like anything, start at the minimum and work your way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lineman87 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 I loaded some using 3.4 gr of TG and was only getting 110 PF. Didn’t see any pressure signs but didn’t wanna get crazy with the TG. I can use 160 gr with 3.0 gr and get 125 PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrr72 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 What type of use do you have in mind? USPSA? Steel challenge? Certain PF? Starting with 9mm data makes sense, but let us know where you are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 3.0grs of TG with a 147gr Bayou .358 @1.150 Makes 125pf in one of my 627's (use it for ICORE which is 120PF floor) 3.3grs of TG in the other Start at 3.0 and chrono till you get where you want to be.

Lineman87 Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Need 120 PF for ICORE. I was at 3.4 gr of TG at 1.17 and got 111 PF average over 8 shots. I’ll try adjusting the seating depth to 1.15 and back it down to see what i get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 This has been said many times: Revo's = No 2 the same or sometimes even close. Lots has to do with the cyl gap and cyl sizing verses Bbl size (9i.e. dia of ACTUAL bbl) Get some powder and keep doing a ladder until you get the PF you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
