Default Werewolf Repellent

Went to the local Gun Show (Columbus Westland) today and walked out with 200 of these for $25.
147 Grain 9mm Winchester Silver Tip hollow points.
How shall I propel them?

Nice! Oughta be a great bullet. I like the heavy-for-caliber bullets. Good zombie ammo, too.

I just started playing with Power Pistol and like it a lot. Either that or Unique and you can get those big boys moving.

Alliant also has Blue Dot listed but I like the others better. Their data is for the Speer Gold Dot but same weight. You will have to figure your own OAL.

I use AA#7 for that weight and caliber. I can get them up to 1000fps with it and that makes it just like having 5, "J" frame revolvers, loaded with THE LOAD! Now how can you lose with that combination!

According to some old Winchester info, the OAL is the same as any JHP with the same weight. I bought some Unique for a .38 +P project - I'll give it a go. And I can see the need to stock the pantry with some Power Pistol... and some AA#7... and some Varget ... and some....

Varget is a medium burning rate rifle propellant not adaptable to any handgun cartridge, what did you really mean?

Or are you just posting to see your name???
