**Shane Tuttle** · May 6, 2008, 06:32 PM

The load data on Alliant Powder's site states 6.7gr for Power Pistol on a 115gr. FMJ at 1.120". I started down to about 6.2gr. It really packed a punch. Does anybody think I could drop .2-.4gr and still have good cycling? I know it's to each his own especially on the gun. But, I'm wondering if I can get away with dropping more than the usual 10% reduced load on a powder of this type.

I'm used to AA#2 and #5 powders for 9mm. But, I'm trying something different.

Any thoughts?
