Accurate 7 -8 Hodgdon 1000 -8 Alliant RED DOT Smokeless Gun Powder, 4LB. (Not for TC loads) As stated above, the higher the the slower the burn. Accurate 5 -1 Green Dot -8 Ramshot/Western Silhouette -1 Accurate. 2, 5, 7, and 9 will load any pistol cartridge out there. Thanks much!I know a few shooters who used Solo 1000 for. I've been using Accurate powder for over 20 years, it's all I use in handguns. I started with AA#5 and found it very accurate but with more recoil than the classic 3.9 gn Bullseye load which is much softer shooting.

Accurate 5 or 7 powder for 9mm zip#
I was reading that ZIP has more or less the same characteristics as 231. (1) 9mm (1) Round Ball (5) Brass (38) Case Preparation (80) Powder Handling (17) Primers. In the past I used 231 for all of those models with great accuracy. 38 wadcutters out of a Smith Model 19, a Colt Officers Match and a Smith 52-2. Has anyone had much experience with this powder for 45 ACP loads (or any other bullets?) I was thinking about trying Solo 1000 with the same bullet. I also tried some AA#2 with the 200 gn cast SWC bullet and it worked very well. With 124's, I'd look to another powder such as AA5, true blue, or silhouette. It is extremely accurate with the 147 grain bullets, as is blue dot. I started with AA#5 and found it very accurate but with more recoil than the classic 3.9 gn Bullseye load which is much softer shooting. I doubt you can get enough AA7 in a 9mm case to cause an overpressure situation.

Answer (1 of 8): Assuming you mean cartridge since the ‘bullet’ is the projectile, it depends on what weight projectile you are using and what powder you use and what velocity you want to attain.To sustain heat absorption, getting a longer and larger diameter barrel will help. With this, the barrel is prone to bend or deformation. When you fire a round, the barrel length will get hot because of the high energy round and rates of fire. Heat AbsorptionĪs the length increases, the heat decreases. As a bullet exits the longer barrel, it can give maximum accuracy and an effective range of bullets. Check out our entire selection to include Accurate No. Accurate powder has helped loaders dial in their shotgroup, or hit the target with more power for years. Slow powders: Accurate 7 and Winchester 572 are both popular slow-burning powders for 9mm. Whether loading Rifle, Pistol or Shotshell ammo. A longer barrel lengthens the time interval in the chamber the pressure acts on the bullet. Lab tested, Accurate Reloading Powder is a staple on reloaders benches across the country. The barrel length can also be a contributor to the accuracy of shots but only at a minimum. It would leave plenty of unburned powder in the barrel and action. The gas will push the rounds inside the long barrel for a period enough to fully achieve the powder burn. It just isn’t appropriate for the low pressure. You can achieve your desired velocity by using high ballistic coefficient bullets or adding the length to your barrel. Shooters are interested in having more velocity at longer distances.
