Shooters world Clean Shot for 124 Grain

[oldfrank]

I was using the Shooters World Book and when I said the Max, I was going by memory which apparently is as weak as my Power Factor. 

I do not have another Sanctioned match till December. I will have it worked out by then. 

Is there a new better 9mm powder? Not Titegroup. All I have used is W231 mostly and now Cleanshot.

I live in AZ. Day time temps from 50°s in the winter to 110°+ in the summer. 4.0 grs with any 125gr lead bullet has given me 130ish PF. Regardless of weather. Out of multiple 4.5-5” barreled pistols. And this is over multiple 5 pound jugs from various lots.

I was truly expecting 132 PF or so. I was also using once fired brass for consistency and Federal Magnum primers. 

I would blame my chrono but too many other factors say I should have been good. Thanks for the comments.

So both your chrono and the major match chrono are showing similar data?

Any chance you can check against a third chrono?

I don't know for sure as I did not check the 4.5 grain load that I failed on but 1 grain over max should have got me 125 PF at least. 

There were very few total Dq's so everyone else was passing chrono.

(assuming USPSA/IPSC) Although they show up at the bottom of the list, failing to make Minor PF is a zero score rather than a DQ.  If a declared-major shooter in one of those divisions didn't make it it'll just look like they declared Minor.. with a high PF if there's a separate Chrono stage you can look at.

 

If they DQed you for sub-minor they did it wrong.

Never assume anything when it comes to reloading! It will bite you sooner or later.
