AS50N for 9mm??

Post by BigB1 » 09 Jun 2021, 7:29 pm

Hi,

ADI has no load data for AS50N in 9mm, anyone had any experience with it and feedback?

There is some talk from people on forums using it but I'm unsure.

G'day BigB1,
I have used it when AP50 has been on backorder at my dealers, same data as AP but check weigh your loads as some measures don't flow well. I use Lee measures with no problems, Cheers.

Hi mate, they list it as the equivalent to ADI APS450. That will get you very close, make a few with a starting load and work up.

I'm loading in AP50N at the moment - very similar powder. I've settled on 3.4gn with a 120gn round nose cast projectile. Works just fine, haven't chronoed but its enough to cycle a Glock positively.

Careful with that amount as I recall it was close to capacity with that projectile and a 1.12" OAL.

Cheers - boingk

Put about 1000 rnds thru my semi auto and revolver with , 123gn Tigershark HP with 3.4gn of AS50N with a CoL of 1.10, any less and my semi auto won't cycle.. haven't done a chrono on it yet but it flows from my Lee powder thrower smooth as anything.
