Low Power 9mm Loads

[Mikej]

The cowboy action guys load such a weak load it is power factor -0.0
They stuff some sort of a filler material in the case to keep the powder
charge near the primer end of the case! Loads are so weak it
is ridiculous. I am not or ever will be a cowboy action shooter no offence to
others that enjoy the sport. The dressing up like a cowboy part is not for me.

So your saying you prefer to dress up like the Indians? Not that there's anything wrong with that. As long as the temperature is above 65 I suppose.

I think the op already addressed the issue earlier on in the thread.

Oops, apparently I somehow missed that post, went back and found it after I read your post; thanks

Ya'll have a simple recipe for low power 9mm?

115, 124 or 147 gr?

Picked up a Kimber Micro 9 today and would like to not eat the web off my thumb before it has a chance to callous up. My normal loads I have for the XD9 Mod.2 are perfect for the heavier gun but brutal in this smaller one.

Looking for suggestions on some commonly available powders and more specifically the bullet weight mixed with the powder type. I hope and plan to use CFE-Pistol but am not opposed to picking up a pound or so of another powder that meters well and is fluffy for practice rounds. While I know I can't eliminate recoil (duh), just looking for a suggestion and any personal starting locations.


Thank you in advance.

Sounds like a good IDPA load? Would you please share more info on bullet manufacture
and type.

I think so. I shoot IDPA. For quite awhile I used 125gr Xtreme plated bullets and Titegroup before switching to 115gr.
