Slow down and take a deep breath of air, then start again!
Your ramblings are gibberish.

Ok if I'm talking jiberish then in redneck terms
Has anyone loaded cast bullets for a 9mm carbine usein abfast burning pistol powder or do I need to look at a slower powder like 2400 or H110 and I know this out on a ledge I've never gone there before useing this type of powder but has some one.
I hope this is not to much jiberish.

I have heard that Accurate Arms #7 was developed for semi-automatic pistol rounds fired in carbine length barrels. It's burn rate is similar to Blue Dot, IMR-800X, etc. It is a ball type pistol powder and runs through a powder measure like a dream.

I have Accurate's #2 manual and they list loads with #7 for weights from 90 grns up to 147 grns. I'm sure you could find a load for your boolit with AA#7 that your carbine would like.

Hope this helps,:popcorn:

As to the idea of using 2400, I understand the concept, but dont think there is enough case capacity in the 9x19 case to make it more effective than a faster powder would be. So I would stay with something faster. I have always used Unique or Bullseye for 9x19, including when I was loading for a friends carbine years ago.
