powder for 45acp?

billy · 05-05-2008, 08:23 AM

can i use this?
9mm Nato Pistol Powder Crosses with AA#7
it is a pulled powder and it's dirt cheap!

i have already asked this question but i want to be real sure this is a good thing to buy before i get 16 lbs. of it!

I have used a lot of pulled powder and never had any trouble.I just use their reccomendations and start below their max load.I never push the envelope just in case there is an inconsistency.The last I used was a data powder 79 which had minimum and maximum loads posted for .22-250,.223wssm,and .30-06.They also refered to AA 2700 charts.I had exelent results and powder was only half the money. sam.

billy: Sir; did you read the article @Dark Canyon?
#7 was originally developed for 9mm nato double base, ball propellant

High Tech Ammo has in the past carried this un-named variant. I wanted some but was un-able to find more ?suitable? information.

Guessing, Accurate Arms manufactured process? pulled process?

Sam, We have to talk Billy into buying a chronograph next so he can measure MV of his loads....

I've had one for several months and can't get the correct combination of time and weather to try it out. You can find them at decent prices on the bay.

I've used Pact chronigraph,s for years and it is virtually second nature to set one up,even for casual shooting.They take questions out of shooting that normally would bug you.But Billy is on a freestyle handgun binge.That is very dangerous for chronidraphs.It is fun to watch the screen fly tho. sam.

my club has a loaner chrono.
it's in my truck right now.
freestyle handgun binge huh?
i like it!

AA#7 is getting up there in the pressure. Don't know if it would be my first choice for an older gun.

Will the amount of powder you put in the case make any difference in pressure? M.D.Smith,s burnrate chart lists it way down the line (40th) with several faster powders ahead of it.Is he wrong? sam.

i google lead bullets or powder and look for the lowest prices then i look for reviews of the company selling it.
in this case cbbullets and hitech powders

then i look for reviews of the bullets and powders and ask about them on forums.

George Bruce · 05-09-2008, 10:15 PM

Thanks. I try to buy my cast bullets locally as the shipping charges really add up.

hint
look for free shipping.

billy · 05-13-2008, 07:50 AM

82 bucks a 1000 shipped aint too bad

my LEE and the AA manuals both have load data for AA#7 and (gasp!) they agree!

samuel · 05-13-2008, 01:24 PM

Lee only prints mfg,s loads.They do no testing or load developing of their own. sam.

billy · 05-24-2008, 08:01 AM

that explains why any two books agree on any single thing .
i thought it was either a miracle or a freak chance.
