AA#9 Loads

[blboyd]

I just got a load of Accurate #9 and I've been doing some research into loads. I've got anywhere from 110gr VMaxes to 220gr SMKs. I know H110 is very popular with the Whisper and AA#9 is very close to H110 but could somebody help me out with some loads. I've found some subsonic loads using #9 but not many supersonic loads.

Any help is appreciated - Thanks guys,
Brandon

I suggest that you call Sierra and Hornady bullets.They have published reload data that includes AA#9 powder for bullet weights 110 to 240 gr. When I called them they e-mailed and faxed the relevant pages from their reloading manuals.

I have posted all of my AA#9 loads here:

Loads number 3009,3020, 3094, 3095, 3096, 3211, and 3211

AA#9 shoots very well in my AR.

Good Luck

Thanks for the loads, 320pf.

I'll check with Sierra and Hornady. I've had dealings with Sierra's customer service before and they were great

Well I finally got some time away from work to load some up and hit the range.

I came into a load of WC860 powder which is suppose to be loaded like AA#9. That's what I'm using on these loads.

Here's some of my data in screenshots and I'll attach a link to my actual Excel data for everyone's viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

If anyone else has any data for any bullet range and velocity range for AA#9 please let me know. Thanks!

That Hornady load data is very disappointing.
