Right now im loading AA#7 but find that there is too much debris "blow back". Im shooting a Trident-9 on an mp5k. I understand that there should be some debris with a suppressor, but want to know if there is a cleaner burning powder for reloading.

I load 3.8-3.9 of bullseye. gives you right at 1000fps out of a 8.5" barrel

I use tightgroup. works very well for me . its all I reload in 9mm anymore ,147 gr JHP . its cheaper than buying ball factory stuff.

I think its 4.3gr IIRC . I could check if you really want to know (very common load , lots use it but check the weight).

I tried looking for 147 data for N320 and I couldn't find any all I could find was for N330. any suggestions for a manual to cheek?

Their web site lists 3.9 gr. of N320 for 978 fps with a Hornady 147 gr. XTP bullet. That is a MAX load.
The MIN load is 3.1 gr. for 784 fps with the same bullet.
