SAAMI Pressure for 9mm

checkfeo · 01-02-2011, 12:49 PM

Any of you old time re-loaders out there know what the SAAMI pressure on Winchester White box is? (9mm 115gr) Most everyone agrees that works the best in a Luger. Is it close to max pressure? (35,000 psi)

I load 147gr's for my Luger to about 25,500 psi. This is on the low side, or below, 25% max load, (according to QuickLoad) and I have no problems with FTF, FTE, or going to hold open.

I want to put in a new, "standard," Wolf main spring, but don't know if it will be too strong for my loads. (I know, try it) Since pressure is what makes the whole thing work, I'm thinking if I could get close to White Box pressure, I should be, "Good to Go."

Any Thoughts?
