springer 1911 9mm load rec

[jcren]

I don't load for 9mm or a Springfield, so this is only worth what you paid for it, however I do load for several 380's from TCP to full sized and my wife is very recoil sensitive. I have found that the slower powders have much mellower and manageable recoil pulses than the old pistol standbys. Hs-6, autocomp and currently cfe pistol make that tiny tcp feel like a much heavier pistol. Even the 90 grain jhp's stepping out at 975 (chrono'd in the tcp) doesn't make the wife flinch.

QUOTE: "I own 2 Springfield Range Officer 1911 pistols in 9mm. They are heavy enough that shooting full power loads feels like light loads in other guns. The current loads are Bullseye 4.2, CFE Pistol 5.0, and Titegroup 4.0 using Lee 356-125-2R."

What COL are you using for the Lee 356-125-2R in your Springfield Range Officers?

Thanks for your help.

I am using a OAL of 1.150 for the Lee 356-125-2R. It runs in everything I own and fits into the magazines easily.
