9mm Reduced load for 25 meters competition

Post by ser2711 »

I use in competition my S&W 952 9mm but I need a reduced load with 115 grains Penn bullets SWC .. at the moment I use very accurate load with N340 4.7 grains.. but still too strong.. any suggestion?

I use 4.1 of VVN340 You can generally figure a starting point of ten percent less powder for a lead bullet verses a jacketed bullet of the same weight,

Caveat. I have a frame mounted dot, and a 13 pound spring in the gun. And it is a 1911 9mm with a KKM barrel.

Many of the most popular powders sold under the Hodgdon brand in the USA (including Varget and H4350) are made by ADI Ltd. in Australia.
