jell-dog was kind enough to PIF me some (well lots really) samples of 9mm bullets for testing. Big thanks to jell-dog
I wanted to post some results as well as chrono numbers from my new Competition Electronics Chrono with Digital link.
To start a couple of notes.
1. Getting old is a drag. Worked in yard Sat, shooting Sunday and my back was protesting Sat so it was not one of my better days.
2. In the 40s at the range chilly,and windy, normally much warmer here, the getting old thing again. (lots of people laughing and are calling 40 warm, other days 80 here by noon)
3. I debated between more powders and less charges or a ladder of one powder. My target vel was around 1030-1050 for the 124s. I missed it and was low on some of the bullets. More powder, or maybe a shorter OAL on some.
4. I loaded this ammo with charges as thrown from a Lee Pro Disk after checking the weight thrown a couple of times. I load outside in a shed and it was cold and damp the day I loaded. I don't know how much if any effect this had on the charges, normally pretty dry where I am at. (Hot in the summer to)
5. All ammo mixed range brass # of reloads unknown. S+B SP primers.
6. Some of the results probably don't deserve to be posted. I had lots more combos and did not post all of them. 500+ rounds that day.
All shot standing.
Really what I trying to say is I did not do the bullets justice and have some I am going to buy to test again to be fair.
Given all the above
