mwenger Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 At the end of October I am shooting my first ever sanctioned match. Last week I chronographed my load and got a 10 shot average of 130.37PF. I'm curious if that is cutting it too close. I would step up the charge but I'm already at 4.1 grains of titegroup with a 124gr berrys so I don't know how much higher I could go. I had always heard to aim for 132-135PF to account for temperature/lighting/murphy's law 4.1gr titegroup 124 berry's hbrn tp 1.165" ~Mike~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterpuc Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Should be fine. I have shot many sanctioned matches averaging 127PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 That's more than enough cushion. You'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 You won't be chron'd at a local match, don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45 Raven Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I agree . . . . you should be good to go with that load and PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safeactionjackson Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 You are good, once over power factor all you need to ensure is that your ammo run your firearm flawlessly. Chrono won't be an issue, even at a sanctioned match. ~g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfish Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 You are good on that load. I run the same. Sometimes after a local match we run this through 2 or 3 different chromos just to see what variations we get at different times of the year. Once you know what variations are then that would be one less thing to worry about in a major match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewthursby Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Out of curiosity, what match? I'll be at the Liberty Match at Valley Forge on the 24th. And to answer your question, 130 PF is just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited October 9, 2015 by ewthursby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Where is the match and what tier is it? Is it in PA?A tier 2 they may chrono but a tier 3 they will chrono I say bump the powder so that you get 132/133 PF.

mwenger Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'll be shooting the Liberty at Valley Forge on Sunday the 25th. I work at a gun shop so getting off on saturdays can get tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
