I have been messing around with the autocomp powder I recently got. Loading 147gr plated xtreme bullets COL 1.160 Started at 3.9 gr but was having issues ejecting spent casings. Got a lot of stovepipes. Tried 4.1gr stovepipe issue went away, brass was ejecting nicely, no real issues Tried 4.3gr since I had a dozen made up anyways. No overpressure signs, again, casings ejected nicely and even piled up pretty nice on the ground! Accuracy seemed good too. Only problem I am seeing is the 4.3 grain is OVER what my manual says to use for 147 gr bullets. The max says 4.1 Their COL was 1.130. I was using 1.160. by adding more powder and extending the COL just a touch, it seems to still work well in my M9 but could it potentially be too much pressure in another handgun such as a walther ppq or Glock? Id hate to let my friends shoot it and blow their guns up or hurt them. | ||

Oh yeah, the powder meters nicely, but when firing it doesn't seem to burn completely. I read this powder was meant for suppressed guns, but seeing as it's the only powder in stock, I gave it a try. I dont have a suppressor. | |||
