Is anyone loading 147 gr. bullets in 9mm using Bullseye powder? I am currently using Unique but have scads of Bullseye and would like to utilize it.
Years ago I asked that ? And RC told me Bullseye and 147gr bullets were like hitting a bowling ball with a hammer. Obviously his explanation was better than mine, but that was the jist of it. So i moved on to a slower powder then decided to stick with 124gr bullets.
Goldilocks would be a good descriptor for 124s IMO. I will add the exception that 130s and up offer better apparent performance subsonic/suppressed, but I haven't run enough of those - let alone through a can yet - to be certain. Actually there is some subsonic data for 124 bullets, so they may be well suited in that role also.Do you find 124 to be the Goldilocks weight? As in not too light and not too heavy?
I ask as I’ve tought about trying 147 but my results with 124 and BE86 have been excellent so I’m reluctant to try anything right now as I’m not shooting as much as I’d like and would rather go with what’s working for now.
