I neep help with a recipe

~Mr. Colt .45~

I just bought some Unique powder and 147 grain FMJ bullets and I cant find a recipe for that particular combo. I found a recipe for a 147 grain Speer GDHP but i dont know if that will work or not. If you have any recipes in your reloading manuals then that would be great if you could share them with me.

thanks for your help,

Sorry, 9mm

From 3.7-4.7grs. should work.

I agree with DCS. I load some 147 FMJ with 3.9 for plinking, so that should be in the right ballpark.

You know, I honestly don't know? I just kept turning the seating screw in until it would chamber. It's fairly long I know that. I'm shooting this out of a Walther P1. They jsut barely feed through the mag.

I load them to fit in the mag with a little clearance. 1.136in.

this is what i loaded,

50 rounds of 9mm
147 grain copper plated FMJ
4.4 Grains of Unique
OAL 1.140"
CCI 500 Small pistol primer

I plan on shooting some of them today to see what happens.
