[mallc]

Might someone recommend a 9mm load for Alliant Power Pistol with a 125 gr lead round nose please? I bought a pound of based a recommendation however, the manual doesn't list a load for 125 gr LRN.

I have used Power Pistol with 147g plated bullets with good results. No info on Alliant's web site using 125g RNL. http://www.alliantpowder.com Just curious, why are you using 125 Lead for 9mm? I had alot of leading issues. Plated bullets are not that much more and you can push them a little faster without any leading.

I use 6.0 gr of PP with 124gr Berrys... it's not a very hot load but decent.

I use 5.4gr of Power Pistol with 125gr
LRN in my P95 and have no leading issues. Accruate. Also use 4.6grs in 147gr LFP.

I was shooting 6 grns of Power Pistol yesterday and factory ammo. In my guns with 125's, 6 grns of power pistol is distinctly HOTTER then commercial 9mm ammo in 125's.

I made a not in my logs to chrono my 125's with 6.0 grns and to rethink my loads. Maybe 5.8 or even 5.4 as posted above would be a better choice.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for the info.

I'm looking for a couple hundred rounds to lock in the break point on my Armalite AR 24. I'll load up rounds at 5.2, 5.4, 5.6, and 5.8 grains and report back.

Thanks again,
Scott

4.6g of Power Pistol with a 124LRN is a nice soft load that should not lead much, if at all.
