Again, I will have to revisit that as I do not or cannot find my notes about that particular load data. i will have to redo that test and see.

Just from reading your loads that you listed, are they similar PF? I am thinking the 124 with wsf is going to be hotter and therefore higher PF.

While I understand that PF being the same that the heavier bullet would “feel” less in the hand, my question is the powder you recommended being way faster than the current choice.

I plan on testing this out again as I do not have notes to refer to but I distinctly remember that loads with titegroup were snappier than the loads with unique and AA5.

Going to recreate this load up and see what I find.

I currently build my 9mm rounds with 147 MW with 3.8 grains of unique set at 1.15 oal. this renders a load that is light to me but power factors out just under 125.

I have heard of others using faster burning powder but this seemed a little snappier than the slower burn of unique.

She was not a fan of the recoil impulse the second time but the first time she said it was tolerable.

if I go any lower I will need to switch to a 12# spring which is ok as well.

So whats the story with using a faster powder? I would think that the slower powder changes the recoil from a snap to a push.
