I'll have to look at my records but iirc I had under 1 lb. of #7 AND 147s were becoming scarce - I was buying up 124s to keep ahead. Not sure that I developed that load and still no #7 (I'd take some 5 as well!) on local shelves. Stayed with 124/5 bullets after competing well with them.K.H.~ Did this work for you at 1100-fps?
StL is a very good reloading town. I've never bought powder or primers on the web but ( like anywhere) am somewhat at the mercy of the market.
Longshot pushes fat 45s and 180 40 cal.
I wanted to like Blue Dot but compressed loads got spikey on me.
Unique became very available and I'm using it for smokin' rounds with 124/5gr 9mm.
Out of a Glock 34 I'm getting about 1250 fps at or near the 5.8gr Max load - no signs of over pressure.
Shorten the barrel and that drops but it is over 1170 in my 3" Taurus 709 (3" barrel) and a bit more in a Kahr CW9 - 3.5" barrel.
I'll get some data in front of me and post more. I'm reloading everything I shoot except bird shot and 22LR!
A new thread would probably be a good idea. Load data chat - for info purposes only.
