Favorite Loads for 147gr 9mm?

[Lee's Landing Billy]

Acc #7 is a very good powder for heavy 9mm bullets. It was recommended to me here for light loads, and it worked like a champ, but there's no reason it wouldn't be just as good at higher velocities. It seems to make a 'push' recoil' rather than a 'snap' and were they were the most accurate combination I've ever gotten out of a semi.

You NEED snap to unlock lugs push slide for cycle. An immediate snap of pressure does not equate to recoil when running a pistol. Most recoil in a pistol is from reciprocating mass. You'll have fun working it up but don't fear the pressure snap, it is your friend in semis.

4.0 grains of WSF works magic with these bullets. Be very careful to crimp only enough to remove the flare for seating.

CFE Pistol Powder is what I use with 147 gr Extreme.
Your grains you use is your decision based on your book/product research but my 9mm pistols like them on the warm side.
