Need a recipe to reload147gr hard cast lead bullets. The powder I have tight group, bull's eye any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Just a target loads for nine MM smith&wesson sd9ve. Any help on the subject will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance:

Check Hodgdon.Com web site Best out there IMO. For Berry's I use
3 grns TG for sub-sonic loads and 4 grns for reg 147. Good luck

I use 3gr of Titegroup with Bear Creek 147gr. tapered cone moly coated lead bullets (OAL 1.135).

I'm getting velocities in the 900-915fps range, and find it to be a nice, soft-shooting load.

I have used a slower burn rate powder (WSF) for the 147 gr lead and jacketed bullets and have been very happy with it. There isn't too much out there for fairly fast powders, probably for a reason--pressure maybe?
