I like it in my 9's.

I also like it for my 9's. It's the only powder I use for 9mm.

I like it for 9 and 40..

Going to try it for 165gr 10mm and use blue dot for 180gr

I load 45 with Unique.. Haven't worked up any loads for PP yet.

What load data do you use for 9mm and the Power pistol?

[AeroEngi]

What load data do you use for 9mm and the Power pistol?

I use 5.3 gr of Power Pistol behind a 124 gr JHP or RN projectile. It's a relatively light load but it shoots great.

What load data do you use for 9mm and the Power pistol?

I use Speer data for Xtreme 124 RN plated bullet and Power Pistol using CCI 500 primer

5.7 works best for me with this bullet.. Range listed is 5.6-6.4

For the same weight projectile:
Hornady lists 4.3 to 5.7
Lyman lists 5.1 to 5.7

*of course you would want to verify independently and work up your own loads*

I got 8lbs of this stuff and I only load .45. I'll be trying it next after I'm done with my 700x. I hear it's loud, flashy, and tons of un in .45

I like it in .45 6.5gr behind a 200gr lead pc bullet has a nice soft, yet strong feel to it. when I went up to 7.0 I felt and saw the difference. IT was a HUGE FLAMING difference too... I think it can be done in .45 with 5.x-6.5gr. I have not tested out lower than 6.5 yet though but I did make some to try.

Power Pistol ?

It's sucks big time. You do not want to use it. Anyone that has it, I'll gladly dispose of it for you and save you the horrors of PP!!!

Seriously, it is an awesome powder. My all time favorite powder for 9 is AA#5 but couldn't find any for the life of me. So I was able to find some PP because I'd read good things about it. Now I'm not sure whether I like it or #5 better.

I load 5.7gr under a 124 plated. Awesome load. Works great too in 38/357 with cast or plated. 6.0 gr under a 158 is awesome. Haven't used it yet in my 45's as I've got almost 8lbs of bullseye to shoot through. But I'll bet it's awesome in that too.

Yeah. I found how low I can go. I am gonna try some 6.0-6.5 next time I go out.

Power Pistol is flashy loud and idiot proof. In both 40 & 9 you can pretty much fill the case to where the bottom of the bullet would be and you will be fine, not that I would, can't over charge enough to wreck a gun.

Thanks for the input. I'll have to try some on my 9mm to start.
