Power pistol with poly coated 124gr 9mm.. Is it too hot?

[taymag]

Has anyone recovered any 9mm poly coated cast that was shot with PP?

I am loading 5.4gr of PP and was just making sure this is ok...

While I'm at it, has anyone switched from PP to something else they prefer? I am only shooting 1000-1100fps roughly and from what I understand this is the powder for hi-velocity, which I am not really needing.

Aside from that I like it.. just curious

just curious how you are coming up with your fps numbers??

Crono, why, do they look off?

I use 4gr of Unique or 3.4gr Titegroup loaded to 1.150 and shot out of G34 with my poly bullets. Low felt recoil and definitely on the minimum side of the loading spectrum. I don't know the FPS for either of these.

I use Power Pistol with coated and lubed lead bullets in .357sig. It does have a lot of muzzle flash and is loud though. HS-6 is good powder as well and it is not as loud and flashy as PP.

+1 for titegroup in the op setup

Not sure the question, is the velocity consistant? Are they accurate? Do they lead the gun? If its yes, yes, no, then its probably a good load.

I use power pistol, but its generally in hot stuff, but only because it allows more velocity, or is the data I can find. PP is one of the powders used in the 460 Rowland or 45 Super. But in the book it can be used in less intense loads. Sort of like an updated Unique.

If you're just looking for 1000-1100 out of your 9, Bullseye, 231, Unique or Red Dot will all do the job. Save your PP for more intense loads. Or just use it up.
