Minor PF load using Sport Pistol

[JPatters]

I would like to start loading 9mm for a minor PF (130). I just bought some Sport Pistol powder. I typically use 124 grain coated bullets from Summit City but may move up to 135 grain. Looking for a good load to minimize felt recoil. Thank you.

Did you search the forum? Lots of loads with SP listed for various guns.

If you load to 130 pf then your felt recoil will be whatever it will be. 

You can't load for a specific pf and load for "felt recoil" at the same time.

(assuming same powder and bullet)

4 to 4.2 grains of Sport Pistol should be close with a 124 coated.

What platform? I run 3.9 in a Sig X5 with a 125 Gallant, gets me about 135 power factor and runs about 132 in a gen 5 Glock 17.

I actually just had a match today. Used 3.6kt of Sport Pistol with 135gr coated bullets from Summit. Worked perfectly. I still pretty much suck but the bullets were nice and worked 100% of the time.
