lead in 9

[yammerschooner]

what powder are you all using for lead in 9mm? @126 grain bullets and not clays or titegroup. Looking for little smoke using lars red.

WSF works well outta everything

I've loaded a lotta 9mm with it from 105's to 147's in cast an smoke is minimal to none.

Works especially well with 124's IMO.

WSF works well, and Silhouette (WAP).

Dang, I bought Unique for when I cast 9mm cause I heard it was pretty good and Lyman has loads for it in their cast bullet handbook. I got a pound of WSF too though. Guess the fun will be in trying both.

HS-6 is being touted in cast boolits thread as we speak

I use HS6 in 45 Auto. Some with 10mm, but I shoot only HS6 in .45.

Solo 1000 smokes very little with my Lead Bullets compared to Tightgroup.

I have been using HS-6 for several years. Seems to work well for me. I mostly load 147's though.

I bee tryin' some Unique for me 124 grain (actually wieghs 129-130 grains)9mm cast boolits. I started with 4.1 grains as a minimum and will try a couple of grains more this weekend, but so far..........it shoots great. I like the smoke though....it makes me feel........................"somehow."

I've gone up to 5.3 with Unique and lee 125 rn tumble lubers. 4.7 was about tright though iirc, punched them out around 1050 i think

I use Unique, WSF or WST. Accuracy w/ all 3 is exc. under 124grLTC.

Think I'll load some at 4.5 in a bit for tomorrow to check out. My Chrony works okay, about 60% of the time. Not bad for bein' shot with a 40S&W through a carbine though.:subgun:

My Titegroup and Bullseye loads in 147 grain 9mm have NOT been very good.

I really need to find a load that works for these bullets. :(

I'm using Alliant's bulk powder: PROMO. Its just like RedDot and works great in 9mm. Less than 4.0 grains gives my 130TC cast bullet an FPS of 1050. Perfect for target work.

I tried some lead 125's with 5.9gr of HS-6 yesterday. Smokey room, but no mishaps. I was shooting more for safety checks than accuracy, but they were basically on par with my initial rounds of FMJ.

My 9 in lead have always been charged with WSF. Works great.
