9mm plated bullets?

[AB]

Don't know the top end. I keep my .40's around 950 and I don't have problems.

Also, I tried Green Dot for a while back in 2000-2001, but I got wildly inconsistent velocities shot to shot. Nothing I did settled it down so I quit using it after 2 lbs.

To get anything consistent with green dot, especially with small charges in the 4-5 gr range you have to hand weigh each charge. The flakey powder just doesn't meter well and will vary .1-.2 grains if you don't keep an eye on it but for pistol bullets consistency isn't a huge concern. I just really like it because I can use it for just about anything and use half the powder of some others I use.

It is for me because I have to submit my ammo to a chronograph at every major match. Also, if the recoil impulse is inconsistent it keeps me from accurately "timing" the gun/recoil/return to battery/trigger press that is crucial for shooting fast and a 50-70 fps difference is one I can feel.

Admittedly if I was shooting under different circumstances than that I might have been willing to press ahead, but I needed it to meter well and shoot consistently.
