Powder burn rate and 9mm 1911 cycling
I have been reloading for about 6 months, so I am still new. I load 45 and 9mm and use Bullseye for both. I compete in IDPA so I am loading for the IDPA power factor. My 45 load is perfect, shoots great and never an issue in my 1911.
I just bought a 9mm Ed Brown 5" for IDPA in September and starting reloading 9 at that time as well. I had a couple of ejection issues and sent the gun back to Brown and they mad an adjustment to the extractor and ejector. Its been shooting great since it came back, except for a very rare (maybe 1 in 150 rounds) stove pipe ejection. Could be the extractor yet, but I am assuming that Browns gave it a good work over. But It makes me ask, do I need to experiment with different powders for 9. Right now I am using 4.3 gr of Bullseye on 124 gr RN from Bayou Hi-Tek coated. It chrono's at 1120 ish. I am using a 10# recoil spring in my Brown. Again, I am new at this and trying to understand the burn rate thing. I love the bullseye for 45 because it gives me a nice round with a softer felt recoil. I know 9mm 1911's can be finicky with cycling, so is the bullseye a good powder for 9mm as well? The 9mm load I am using is very accurate. Thanks for your input!
