My guns love 147 gr ferderal hst oem ammo. I would like to duplicate that load as close as possible. I have 3 pistol powders: Unique, Bullseye, and CFE pistol. Which of these 3 powders do you all feel is more suitable for the 147 grain jhp's? Also, I always start low and work up so with that inn mind anyone mind sharing any pet loads you may have that uses one of those 3 powder? Thanks in advance. Kevin | ||

I load thousands of 147 gn round nose plated bullets every year. CFE Pistol is my go-to powder. I like the recoil feel it creates. My mild Steel Challenge loads are 3.7 gn Warmer loads are 4.0-4.1 gn Note that my rounds are 1.11 COL. As always, start low and work your way up for your firearm, and watch for signs of overpressure. | |||

147gr Black Bullets International. 3.2g Vitavhori N320. Gets moving at 830fps. It's like shooting cotton balls. Andrew Duty is the sublimest word in the English Language - Gen Robert E Lee. | |||

Thanks to both of you all for the replies. VNM - Glad to hear you have had good results with the CFE! | |||

My go-to for 147 RN is 3.9gr of WSF. I did some experiments with CFE-P but didn't get further than 3.6gr before primers started going scarce enough that I decided to put away my pistols as fun guns for the time being. I'll revisit this sometime, but not for a while. "In order to understand recursion, you must first learn the principle of recursion." | |||
