This past weekend I test fired 5.0g of Power Pistol behind a 124g Ranier plated RN, put 20 rnds into a small coffee can lid at around 30 feet off hand. All ejected, no stovepipes and this load locked back the slide in a 9mm Sig P226, I was very satisfied with it. I did not have my cronograph at the range but I estimate around 1000fps. Primers looked fine and I did not noticde anything wrong with the flash, this was at an indoor range.
I'm going to crono this load and most likely make it a standard. I was really impressed with it.
This was my first attempt at load development with 9mm, I also used a load of Bullseye and another of Unique, both were underpowered and gave stovepipes and did not lock back the slide.
I've been loading since 1980, just have never got into the 9mm untill recently, so I'm not a noob at it.
This struck me as a very good practice load for that pistol.
