AWLAZS Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) I have searched over and over for what powders are being used in 9 minor with a 125 lead bullet. I just need a good affordable powder. Thanks guys Edited July 16, 2009 by AWLAZS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Soto Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have been using 3.5gr of CLAYS under a 125gr bare lead bullet to make 132PF out of a Glock 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranDoc Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) 4.1 of Titegroup under 124/125 grain (jacketed) at 1.105". PF 132 out of a 4" XD TG is 'sooty', but always cleaned up well with Simple Green or Hoppe's Elite. It can be smoky with lead, shoot outside only (just my opinion on that).

AWLAZS Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks guys. There is Clays and Universal Clays correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks guys. There is Clays and Universal Clays correct? Correct. Universal Clays is slightly slower. You should be fine with regular Clays with lead bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19852 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I like Ramshot Competition, when I can find it. Try 4.0 grs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I've tried them all.....I have not yet shot anything that is as good as Solo 1000......especially with lead or Moly. WSF also works well with lead and moly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJDOUBLETAP Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Tite Group. The only down side is the smoke... I here good things about Solo 1000 too, but have no experience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSF also works well with lead and moly. I have been using SOLO 1000 for .40 major but I have never experimented with it for 9mm. What is your 9mm load data with SOLO 1000?

kgunz11 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Best = N320 Most affordable = Solo 1000 The Solo smokes a little more than the N320, but feels very close to it in recoil impulse. 4.2gr of N320 makes 133pf in my M&P 9Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottrebello Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Solo 1000 over a Bear Creek 125 moly. I think Im at 4.2 gr. Have to double check. Consistently gets me 1030-1050 FPS. Have never once thought about or noticed smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWLAZS Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 What are you shopping for? I checked the local shops out for all the above mentioned powders nothing. Then I noticed I was out of powder I called them all looking for 3n37 hs6 Silhouette nothing. I did not realize I was on my last can So I am basically done shooting until I can get something shipped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffWard Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I got 8lbs of Solo from Midway. I'm experimenting with 3.5-4.0 gr under Montana Gold 147s. SOFT shooting, and good accuracy so far. 2 matches, no Mikes... JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
