Speer 300’s also come in at 451.5. But they seem to shoot fine.
I have t shot them yet, but plan to get some ladders loaded with AA#9 a d find out! #9 has been very accurate in every lighter weight bullet I have tried.

I've tried several powders in the lighter bullets but never AA9 because it peaks too fast. Case in point:
AR15 Platform, 20" 1:24, Speer 200 TMJ (upcoming range report), 2.06 COL (bullet .25 into case)
36.2gr AA9,
38.8k psi (max SAAMI=39,1k),
2401 fps,
74% case fill
44.7gr Lil Gun,
38.9k psi (max SAAMI=39,1k),
2578 fps,
94% case fill
Lil Gun fills the case more and nets 175 more fps for close to the same pressure. I like using up as much of the case capacity as is reasonable.
I realize how well the bullet flies is important. I'll get some first hand experience when I get out with my loads, possibly this Saturday.
