The cut off for pressure, even when pressure is not listed, is rarely above 34,000 PSI. to reach 1200 FPS and still be under the standard pressure limit of 35,000 PSI/33,000 CUP. It is not a stretch to believe that the load could be increased by. Their Max Charge of Silhouette chrono's 1175 FPS from my 4.47" Canik. The loads I test using the SIERRA data give more than the 1150 FPS that they show as their highest velocity. #2, SIERRA and Lyman both load it very short at 1.075" and in one manual, they tested their 9mm loads with a 4" Hi-Point.

#1, it has as long a shank as you will find on any copper-jacketed 9mm hollow-point bullet at that weight. It is completely safe to use the SIERRA data for their 125 gr. JHP for a couple of reasons. I mention this when the question is asked about a 9mm 124/125 gr. I've loaded it as fast as 1281 FPS that's not necessary in light of how well the HST has performed in my testing. Both True Blue and Silhouette are capable of 1200 FPS with the 124 gr. Then you would need to ask why they would make +P loads with any faster burning powder than Silhouette. Those they show as +P have artificially inflated pressure, IMO, due to a tight chambered test barrel. Since I write the occasional article for the Western Powders blog, I hate to say that I do NOT depend on their 9mm data for my handloads. +P Hollow-point while it's velocity is rated 1100 FPS. Just earlier today in the daily Ammoland email, Blackwater is getting into the ammo biz and advertise a monolithic 124 gr. HST, certainly to +P in terms of velocity, and lets face it, a +P rating for 9mm these days is more about velocity or perceived effectiveness than it is for pressure. When the recoil impulse is the same, you get the same hit to the hand, the same muzzle rise and the same return of the sights. What you should care about is how they feel compared to your White Box and HST ammo. Rather than getting hung up on velocity, consider the recoil impulse. AC and CFE will probably get you there at +P pressures, but I haven't seen an data for that. AA5 and Silhouette will get you there (depending on bullet) at +P pressures. Only HS-6 will get you to 124 at standard pressures. If you look in the section for loading 9mm Major you'll see that it has been used for that as well. 357 Magnum defense loads for shorter barreled revolvers that won't lose as much velocity while having low flash from 3" and even 2" snubs. 45 ACP and Standard Deviations below 10 are always my expectation. 40 S&W, Target loads in 10mm, and it's what I use for 230 gr. 38 Special and +P, one of the most accurate powders for loading the. As well as being excellent in 9mm, it's great for target loads in calibers like. Its pressure stability is unmatched by ANY other handgun powder. 454 Casull and you'll see that they have loads that go up to 54,000 PSI. 38 S&W and they will tell you that True Blue excelled while none of their loads exceeded 13,000 CUP.

#ACCURATE 5 POWDER MANUAL#
Open up the Lyman 49th edition manual or their Pistol & Revolver III, and turn to. In Nosler data it was the most accurate powder tested for their 124 gr. Compared to other powders that held the title or are marketed as "universal" it's no contest. It is a very dense and very fine grained ball powder that would probably flow even better in an hourglass than sand. It might not be the best choice for minor power factor 9mm loads in terms of low charge-weights, but 9mm range loads up to defense loads it is excellent. Ramshot True Blue is the one handgun powder I will never run out of. Effective and even outstanding loads from.
