Would N320 3.5gr For A 9mm 147gr Speer Gdhp Be A Good Starting Value?

Hi,

9mm, Speer 147gr GDHP, 1.142 OAL, 3.5gr n320.

Playing around with Quickload Demo I estimate this value to be around 127.5 PF in my G26. I'd like to see it up around 135 PF once worked up if possible.

Not having any info in a load manual on n320 makes me a little nervous however.

Do you guys think this is a good starting load to try? Do you think n320 could make it up around 135 PF safely?

Thanks,

Alan

If you were loading long, say 1.155 or so, then I think that load is a good place to start. If loading shorter, I would cut a couple of tenths (conservatively) and work up from there. You are definitely close to what you want, but I think you should start lower than that and work up.
