Superpipe9 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Loaded up some Xtreme 165's with 2.9gr. of Titegroup today. My SP-01 Shadow seems to really like them. I also loaded up a few hundred Xtreme 147's with 3.3gr. of Titegroup. The 165's are definitely my preference of the two. I really like the feel of the heavy bullet. I plan to order up a few recoil springs to play with now. Anyone happen to know what weight the stock Shadow spring is? Why did you like the 165's better? Accuracy, softer recoil, etc?

They were definitely softer to shoot as well as a bit more accurate of the two particular loads that I compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I should add that the 3.0 of N320 is my 3 gun load. 140ish. You could probably drop that down if you are just playing Production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouboy02 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My favorite load is 3.4gr of n320 with a 147gr sns bullet loaded to 1.135 with federal primers. Makes 133pf out of my shadow and is very soft and accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpipe9 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 I started using the Blue Bullets 135TC over a year ago because I felt like the 135gr weight was the best felt bullet weight in my shadow and my M&P. Problem was with everyone else's 135 you had to load short for the shadow. When Blue Bullets came out with the 135TC profile I wanted to try it and I found that I can load that round out to 1.145 and it's the most accurate bullet profile I've ever shot and I can shoot it in all my guns with equal results. This bullet is amazing and I shot 20,000 of them last year and was lucky enough to be picked for the shooting team so if you guys want to try them out use code (MOSER) at checkout for a discount.

HawkMoney Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 11lb recoil spring with the 165's have worked well for me. Thinking about trying a 10lb. Everyone keeps talking about the slide moving sluggish but I get my fastest splits using the 165's and the gun barely moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi_Im_Vinh Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Xtreme 147gr / 3.6gr Win-231 loaded to 1.155 nets me 129PF , I've tried Clays and Titegroup but somehow my Sp-01 Shadow likes this load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
