walker779mm sub sonic loads
You guys have some 9mm sub sonic loads you would want to share?
I made a test run of Winchester 231 and 147gr RMR fmj bullets. I want to see if there is anything better out there.

RileyPretty happy with a Berrys 147gr and 4.0gr of CFE-P. I don’t load for a suppressor but these are pretty quiet to me. Loaded the same with 147gr Precision Delta FMJ.
I like these two bullets as they are easier loading for the CZ barrels.

Tree RatKinda of an open ended question due to vast majority, if not all, 9mm 147 fair is subsonic.
For suppressor application I like 3.4 ish N320, and for full power 147 I like 4.6 BE-86.

flesheatingvirusI've been loading 147gr subsonic for years for suppressed weapons. I used to use all Titegroup but just switched to W231; it is noticeably cleaner. Right now I'm using Blue Bullets, but I'm not impressed with their weight consistency. Many are at least 3gr over. I may switch to Xtreme plated.

usncorpsman3.2gr Titegroup and any 147gr bullet you like. A pound of TG goes a long way with this load.

XLTyou want to be very careful with titegroup, yes the powder goes along ways but there is such a small amount that one double charge could easily get by and that is not going to be a good thing.

heavydI think you have the right combination with 231 and 147 grain FMJ. I have loaded probably 20,000 of them. Titegroup is okay, but, as mentioned, you can accidentally double charge without knowing it. For me, the cost per round powder savings is not worth the risk.
