Good morning,
Did search after search on this subject. I just got a few hundred rounds of 9mm from Hoosiers, 147 gr. Can't find ANY data on it, unless I am missing something.
I do have the Lee and Hogdon manuals, and they do have a few 147 gr bullets, but most are jacketed or copper plated.
My Walther OAL case as internally measured is 1.1750"
I did a few test loads with Winchester 244 starting a 3.0 gr and going up to 3.2 gr. OAL was varied from 1.1250 to 1.1740. Interesting fact is that the longer OAL loads did not
pass the plunk test in the Wilson gauge. They did cycle in the gun perfectly, though. The data on the Hogdon website calls from loads from 3.0 to 3.4 gr on 147 grain bullets, though not coated.
About to head to the range this afternoon, but wanted some input from the seasoned folks in here.

Many thanks,
Ion
