What is a good 9mm JHP to use in a 16in barrel? I know most HP are designed for 3-5 in barrel and will not perform well in 16 in. I would prefer one that perform acceptable in both pistol and rifle, but it doesn't have to. Thanks.

I haven't shot many thru my Ruger PC Carbine but 147gr factory HST's seem to feed reliably and disintegrate medium size watermelons quite spectacularly out to 50yds.Originally posted by Sierra57"We have four boxes with which to defend our Freedoms: the Soap box, the Ballot box, the Jury box, and the Cartridge box" - Ed Howdershelt

I don't have a 9mm PCC but I do have a 45ACP PCC and a 357mag PCC. You should be able to shoot any JHP or FMJ. You will get some speed boost over shooting through a pistol.
Not sure what you are concerned about. Are you simply target shooting or something else.
I have 45ACP loads that I make with Hornady HAP and XTP bullets and/or the Zero clones. I shoot them through either my PCC or CZ pistols.
What do you mean by "not perform well"? In what respect?Pleasanton CA, Citori 725 Trap Max, Benelli M2, SW 686, CZ 75, SP01, and others.Comment

9mm JHPs are designed to perform optimally at speed from 4-5in barrel. Too slow ( 3in barrel), some will under expand and over penetrate. Too fast, some will over expand and underpenetrate. Some even break apart at that speed. I was asking if anybody knows of a load that meets FBI requirements, shooting from a 16in barrel, or specifically Ruger PCC 9mm.
Thanks.Comment

OK that helps a lot. You are interested in terminal ballistics. You got me interested so I did a little searching. I think you will find the article and video here very helpful
Looks like Federal 147gr HST would be a solid choice.
I have found the Luck Gunner work very helpful for a lot of things.Pleasanton CA, Citori 725 Trap Max, Benelli M2, SW 686, CZ 75, SP01, and others.Comment
