That 4th group was the ticket. Sometimes I get in a rush the 1st time shooting anything & after I warm up (or shoot at least a mag) the groups get better. Like the color of that PC, it looks purple. Thanks for sharing Bro
I think that's exactly what it was. I was setting up cameras, the chrono, and all that. These were the first shots of the day and I was still all riled up. That powder coat is purple. I got it on Amazon. Prismatic Powders - Sinbad Purple. It covers great just like Ford Light Blue. Its kinda pricey though, thats my only complaint.
Wow you got lucky to find some Power Pistol! I've always wanted to try it for heavy 45-45 Super to compare against Unique and Herco but I never see it since I moved to Montana. There is powder available at $45-50lb but not much choices. I have to say I stumbled onto using Herco in 45ACP+P-45 Super and its impressive. I'd think it would do the same across the board in auto pistols with heavy bullets. With heavier bullets it seems to outperform Unique but I only have a 1/2 pound left so I stopped doing random testing with it until I find more. With a 250-260gr cast and a heavy recoil spring (I've used 20lb-24lb) I got over 1000fps no pressure signs, but you definitely can feel the recoil difference!
I've seen a pound or two locally, but didn't know anything about it. Thats good to know! Alliant makes great powders. I prefer them over any of the Big H powders. I'll keep my eyes peeled for Herco and do some research. Thats impressive to get 1000fps with no pressure signs. Wow! Did it feel like a 44 Mag?
@@TinManReloading I have watched you, Julio and Uncle Jim for some time now. I have been reloading for a few years now and have learned alot from you guys. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks, Uncle John! It was nice to be able to make one. The chrono was great. It was the first time I've used it since I picked it up. Normally I had to stop after every shot and write the number down. Good to hear from you. Hope all is well 👍
Looks like a good powder. Kind of higher charge weights for better groups it looks like. I typically just use Unique for 9mm but occasionally Bullseye. Bullseye is just dirtier but faster burning. I like Unique the best for 9mm because its a medium burn rate and works well for a wide range of bullet weights. I have for years loaded 115gr. and 125gr. hard cast lead with it. Plus I can load shotgun shells with it. Performance might be better though with a dedicated pistol powder like Power Pistol. I like Bullseye and the faster burn rate better for larger bullet sizes like .45ACP. Thanks for sharing.
The crappy groups was probably 100% my fault. I love Bullseye for my 45ACP loads under a 200gr SWC. Unique is a great powder as well. Thank you for watching, RB M
Power Pistol is a great powder in 9 mm, 5.2 to 5.4 is the range I get my best results in with cast bullets in the 125 gr. weight range. I get great results with it in my 45 ACP as well.
That is the range that worked best for me as well, but I was shooting like crap for the first three groups. I should have warmed up before I started shooting, but these were my first shots of the day so I wasn't relaxed at all.
Glad you got out to the range 👍🇱🇷. Haven’t tried that powder yet, glad to see it working out for ya.👍. You don’t have to shoot angry…just think of rainbows, unicorns, and pink ponies next time 🤷♂️
Hey dude, (I love my Beretta), anyway, Ya,,, sure,, looks good,, thumbs up. Lots of people use that Power Pistol powder with good results, I would recommend it for 9mm full house rounds. I use AA#7 and it is about the same. good video dude. -Dave
Thanks, Dave! Yeah, the Beretta has a great trigger and feels good in your hand. #7 is one that I havent tried either. I'm looking forward to playing with it more, but I'm sticking to Bullseye in 45. Hehehe.
@@TinManReloading any one of those two will bring the best out of the 9mm. and may I add, Bullseye has been my go-to for .45 for many years, Win 231 works well too. It seems that lots of powders compare to Bullseye and 231 in the .45, but nothing will beat them overall. If I couldn't find those two on the shelf, I would get a can of Red dot or 700X for .45 loading. Peace Bro.
I could tell that you were settling in by the 3rd and 4th groups. Sometimes, if I haven't been at the range for awhile, it takes me a few loads before I can get my head fully into the game. But those last couple of groups would definitely get the job done 👍🇺🇸 Velocities were right up there with jacketed bullet loads! 🤯
Yeah, it takes a bit to settle down. Especially when you're running around setting up cameras and your chronograph. Lol. I was impressed with the velocities! No signs of pressure either. As far as the barrel, I didnt check that for leading 🤣
@@TinManReloading Tinman, I really appreciate the offer, truly I am humbled by your generous offer to send samples. I would rather my friends DO NOT send any components or tools because of the strict legal ITAR USA Rules which can be extreme in cases of export to even Canada. Lee Molds are cheap, about $35.00 here so I'll buy one during the winter for use next spring. Maybe I'll get you to email some 3D files for accessories if I ever get off my ass and buy a printer in the future though. Thanks, Mike.
Alright range time last two groups are great in the beginning it looks like it was key holing then it started to look better I don’t know if you noticed thanks for sharing
I noticed that too, but I wasn't sure if it was because the styrofoam backer was all blown out or if it was keyholing. Thank you for watching, Julio 👍 Hope you're doing well.
I've been curious about that powder. Thank you for letting us live vicariously while we wait for it on shelves. To your credit, that self-critique was very accurate.
The problem is that there is no guide for a 16" inch barrel .. the data that they are providing most of the time is out of a 4" barrel . Vihtavuori N350 in his famous shooting accuracy! my load is 115 FMJ with N350 5.7 grains .aol 1.140. That fall in the middle between the low and hi recommended power load . Vihtavuori N350 is the slowest in the N300 series of handgun powders. It is ideal for very heavy loadings and top velocities and energies for a broad range of pistol and revolver cartridges. The grain size (1,0 mm length and 0,8 mm diameter) is exactly the same than N320, N330 and N340; it is the porosity of the powder that makes all the difference in burning characteristics. N350 . I don't have a chronograph but would guess it's about 1400 fps.
Hey, LVO! I'm using the ProChrono DLX with the Bluetooth built in. Amazon had them on sale for $110 a few weeks back so I grabbed one. Might still be on sale?
Great video and great information

I'm grateful you sent me some, Scotsman. Thank you. I have a feeling it'll be my go-to for 9mm too 👍
That's some nice shooting and thanks for sharing the load data always appreciated.
Thank you, Frank!

This is a good bullet! Lee is making a 147 grain 9mm truncated cone. The molds are on their website along with Titan reloading, albeit out of stock.

After the pan......it's really easy to see the yank, not the squeeze. I think your 6th group was way off though.

What’s your oal? I’m playing with same bullet now
I settled on 1.065, but you'll need to plunk test for your own barrels. My Beretta will handle it up to 1.095 I think.
