Reloading

What’s going on with Alliant Sport Pistol powder? I’ve been trying to find it since the spring. Other popular powders like Titegroup seem to be readily available but this one is nowhere to be found.

Any opinions on load data for 124gr tc (9mm Glock) using Unique. 700x, HP38… would need OAL, too. Thanks!

I just ran a ladder loading using 700x, 3.7 gr through 4.4 gr, 1/10 of a grain increments. I used mixed brass, CCI 500 primers and 124gr TC Matchwinners. I shot them out of a Canik TP9 V2. I ran the OAL too short at 1.06 and had some pressure issues. The 4.3gr and 4.4gr loadings showed signs of overpressure. I should have loaded to an OAL of 1.100 with that bullet.

I’m using 700x right now because I got most of a 12lb keg, cheap. I now know why my friend decided to get rid of it. I doesn’t meter very well from a powder measure, at least my Lee powder measure. I’m seeing a variance of +/- 0.4gr from my target charge weight. Verify the consistency of charge weights if you’re using an adjustable powder measure.

5.1-5.4 grs of Unique with the 124 TC, Loaded COL 1.120″ 5.3 seems to be the sweet spot running @ 1130fps out of Glock 26, 19 and sig 226.
