AA9 and whatever brand 180 gr RNFP .
800X is a bad choice, period. Spikey inconsistient powder.
Would love to see your pressure transducer traces.

nice!Score!
Managed to find some range ammo for this gun today and scored a brick of Large pistol magnum primers. Wanted standard large pistol, but beggars can't be choosers...
With Blue Dot, V-V N-105, and Longshot, it's 180's at 1300 fps in a 5" barrel. Longshot will get 200's to 1200 fps
Hornady also shows a max charge of 8.2 grains Longshot, and Sierra lists a max charge of 8.5 grains. This would lead me to believe that the new listing is legitimate.
Sierra says they used a universal receiver in the testing for that cartridge. I would have trouble understanding why a main player in the bullet manufacturing industry would use a universal receiver without using some sort of pressure testing technology.Possible, cept Hornady also lists a Max of 7.3gr Longshot with 200gr bullet whereas Hodgdon list 8.2gr as Max for 200gr bullets.
Hodgdon data is the same for the 180gr and the 200gr, Hornady is not.
Sierra, does not use pressure testing equipment so their data is suspect at best.
If you look close you will also see that Hodgdon load data using longshot is unchanged across the board, except for the 180gr 10mm.
