We should be getting our 9mm can paperwork any day now. In preparation, we've loaded up some subsonic ammo using the following recipe:
3.5grains Bullseye Powder
CCI Small Pistol primer
147gr RN plated boolit

We've asked around at all the gun ranges and amongst our friends looking for a chrono to test out this load - no luck. Budget doesn't allow us to buy one at the moment and even if it did, it would be a shame to spend reloading money on something we're probably only going to use once.

So, my question to you all seeing chrono-gurus - would anyone be interested in us shipping you 10 rounds or so to test? I know common wisdom suggests not shooting other people's reloads but am not sure where to turn to at this point.

If anyone is on the Northwest side of Atlanta, we'd be happy to drive over.

Thanks in advance....

i have loaded that load and chronoed it. Went 950 fps average. you should be able to go lower and still be reliable, maybe down to about 850. may need to change a recoil spring

Lone Wolf G19 threaded barrel. It's my son's so I'm not sure on the exact length. If all goes well, I was going to purchase a threaded barrel for my 92.
