9mm and IMR PB

[jacobslagle018]

Has anyone used PB in 9mm? I read that is does work, and it is the only powder I can get locally. I cast with a Lee 120-TC mold and 124-RN mold. I was looking to put 3.0 grains behind each bullet. The TC mold usually has an OAL of 1.050 to chamber in my gun, and the RN has 1.150.

If anyone has thoughts or comments, I would love to hear them. Thanks again!

PB is what my dad used for 9mm with the Lee bullets. They were accurate for my brother and him. Also, my brother killed more than a few critters with it.

I never have loaded them with it myself nor do I know the exact grains he used, but it was more then 3.0 gr. I'd have to say go ahead and use it. I certainly would if I was in your situation.

pb should work just fine.
it's faster than unique and slower than red-dot, I use both in my 9's depending on which one I have most of or is in the hopper at the time.
