Any of you guys ever load 231 behind a 147 lsw? I bought 500 147 gr. 9mm. from laser-cast trying to get away from the leading. I was hoping I could run a 147 under a 1000. There twice as high as the bullets I was shooting. If they wont lead theyll be worth it.

I like 3.5 - 3.7 grs Win 231..

Thanks Bugs, Ill set my dillon on 3.5 and give er a whirl. I couldnt find a 147 cast anywhere in my manuels.

Yup, 3.7gr of 231 is a nice soft load @ about 890fps

That 3.5 gr. W-231 load under the 147 gr. lead bullet has been an excellent performer in terms of accuracy and performance on steel.

Penn bullet has these
