I was surprised by the jump from just the crimp, but my chrony is always consistent and has never given "weird" readings.

During the same shooting session, I ran some CCI SV from my S&W 41 and the readings were what I always get.

The 9mm pistol I was using was an HK USP Expert. Also, out of my CZ EVO carbine, the load was running 1300fps.

The crimp making that kind of difference suggests this powder is hard to light. For that reason, you could try magnum primers to see if they improve matters any further.

I have CFE Pistol, have used it. I am now thinking that it needs Magnum Primers and solid crimping. I have Lee FCD for 45, 9mm, 40. I think the result could be better.
