I am looking for good loading data using Missouri Bullet Company's 147gr 9mm SubSonic projectiles using either Bullseye or Blue Dot powder. Anyone know any that work well with those powders and bullets?

Speedy,

Some quick google searches show others are using 3.2-3.8 gr of Bullseye behind a 147gr flat top lead bullet. Not authoritative data as it all came from chat boards.

As a side note, I think almost any reasonable 9mm 147 gr load will yield subsonic results. Good luck finding authoritative data regarding Missouri Bullet Company's stock unless it comes from them. Did you ask?

Here's where I go when I can't find a load in my reloading books. These are the 147 gr 9mm loads. Hope this helps

Hey, we ought to post that one over in the Geeks With Guns thread. Looks like a great reference.

Thanks for the link! I downloaded Allient's manual last night. No help on this load I am afraid!

Hey, Speedy,

Would you mind posting the link to that Allient reloading manual? I looked on their site but I couldn't find it.

Regards,

George
