Z-man Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Anyone tried Power Pistol in 9mm? I bought a pound on another shooter's recommendation but haven't had a chance to run through any. Any suggested loads or experience with it? I haven't had much luck searching in the forums for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 you loading for major or minor? it works good for both, but better for major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm loading it for minor, sorry I didn't specify! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 start 20 percent under the data found at www.alliantpowder.com adjust the load as necessary after chrongraphing with minor ammo, youll likely get low pressures, unburned powder,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bompa Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I found it to be loud and flashy..Works though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beethoven Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I found it to be loud and flashy..Works though.. +1 At night with that major PF all you can see is a yellow wall of flame from the comp. Pretty cool to look at but not much fun to shoot it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Whats it like when loaded to minor, still loud and flashy (though obviously less)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 yes, im afraid there is nothing that can be done for the power pistols noise and flash...except shoot it in a carbine. its a good powder though...and you probably wont notice the flash during the daylight hours.

DougCarden Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I was told by a shooter that was/is? sponsored by Alliant that Power Pistol was developed for 9mm nato rounds, and works best at the higher velocities. It would not be my choice for minor loads at all, but it works great in full power .40, 10mm, and super/supercomp major loads.
