9mm 147G Subsonic (for suppressor) powder type and weight?

I'm using WSF, at 4.0, and it works, but I'm just testing the water to see what kind of data is out there.

I’ve been loading 147 grains for a little while now using titegroup at the suggested beginning load out of Hodgdon manual @3.2 grains. With loads that light though I don’t use my rcbs powder throw...even though it’s usually spot on. I’ll use my Intellidropper. I like it! Out of my suppressed scorpion sounds like a break barrel pellet gun. Little louder of my ar9 but definitely still within hearing safe thresholds. And I haven’t had any cycling issues whatsoever. I don’t really shoot suppressed pistols though, so I can’t comment on that.

147 gr acme with 3.1 or 3.2 titegroup. Can be a little smokey, but not unbearable. Vihtavuori n320 (Very clean) at 3.2 also works great in everything I shoot both suppressed and not.

www.natoreloading.com its pretty clear what top tier pistol powders are.

www.natoreloading.com its pretty clear what top tier pistol powders are.

I disagree with their list. They list accurate powders for 9mm, and they are pretty useless if you want reliable cycling. Their "top" list looks like top "marketed" powders.

It was 100% non biased test and the data spoke for itself, blindly. All powders produce reliable cycling that are loaded in correct parameters. I didn't even know powders had Marketing? Anyway, I think its clear that "every powder" can produce acceptable results, and can work. There is no real winners.

Curious, I am: are you shooting suppressed with a rifle or pistol? What model?

I have been loading a lot of VV N320 for the past 4 years with mostly 124s just slightly supersonic.
320 is very clean shooting with no flash and no smoke. I am going to order some 147s and try some subs.
