bmiller Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Playing with 95 grain precision delta bullets. Below is a group I shot at 50 yards. 2 to 2-1/2" at 50 seems to be a good average. I have not had this good of results with 95 grain coated bullets. I acquired some 90 grain frangible bullets to test, I think they will be more accurate. I tried a few today, I love the recoil impulse at 125 pf. I am going to load some at 130 and check the results. Is there anyone else playing with lighter bullets? Link to comment
1911luvr Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I've tried hundred grain coated bullets with less than stellar results. I'm using 115 grain coated and will easily shoot 2 to 2 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hello: Try some 124 grain JHP's and see how they work for you at 135PF. They should be better than that, at least they have been for me. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
lhoward762 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 124gr Xtreme plated over titegroup, 1.14" oal, is consistently grouping 1" at 50 yards out of my carbine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment
mike4045 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Under 1" with 147 gr blue bullets and n340. About 1.5 with factory white box. Link to comment
Les Snyder Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I have a SPARC II on my PCC, and can't see precisely at much more than 25yd for group testing... on occasion has shot cloverleaf 3 shot groups with Bayou coated 135s at 1.125 oal and 3.6grains WSF... 146pf Link to comment
gerritm Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Tested 3 different loads at 25 yards last weekend. 3.0gr Titegroup/147 Blue Bullet, 3.3gr Titegroup/98gr Eggleston, & 3.6grTitegroup/115gr Extreme RN. All shot in the same quarter sized group. The Eggleston felt the softest with the BB load next. Love the JP barrel. gerritm Link to comment

Do you notice any difference in muzzle movement or accuracy with different OAL? Thanks. Bill Link to comment
Darqusoull13 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Just being able to run the longer 147 Blue Bullets in my JP barrel was awesome. There's not much of a difference in dot movement going from a Blue 147 loaded to 1.135 " to 1.170 " OAL with the same powder charge. Changing the weights at similar power factor does change dot movement. Link to comment

Bill Did the plunk test before I installed the barrel on everything loaded we had laying around from 1.08 115's & 147gr Extremes to 1.16 124JHP from my open gun and they all dropped and spun. Settled on 1.12 for the 147 BB's cause that is what we are loading for my son's DVC and 1.10 for the 98gr. Surprisingly the 98gr with 3.3gr Titegroup have knocked over all of the steel including the big poppers with no trouble. Probably will not make PF for USPSA. Need to bump it up to about 4.0 to make PF, but for all steel match it was great. Very soft. They all pretty much shot in the same quarter sized hole at 25 yards. Muzzle movement is very flat and with the KAW Linear comp it is straight back. Transitions are about the same even though it is heavier. Best thing I did was to go to the JP barrel. PCC has been running 100% now with about 1K rounds thru it. Having fun shooting it. gerritm Link to comment
Darqusoull13 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Gerritm, you might start at 4.5 gr Titegroup and ladder up to 5 gr for your 95 grain bullets. Our 95 grain load chrono'ed at 126 PF (4.5 gr) but more powder definitely had less dot movement for us with a JP comp. Link to comment
gerritm Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Eric is running these 98gr. Egglestons in his CZ and he chronoed them with 4.0 @ 1.10 OAL and it made PF. Not sure exactly the number, but thanks for the info these are good starting points. Really like these bullets and they are cheap, $70 per 1K. Like the colors. Easy to load straight once I figured out to bell the case a little more. No real lead or fouling, either. Very accurate. gerritm 34 minutes ago, Darqusoull13 said: Gerritm, you might start at 4.5 gr Titegroup and ladder up to 5 gr for your 95 grain bullets.

Flatland Shooter Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Made it to the range this afternoon to test several spring/buffer combinations and a few different bullets. Good news is lighter springs and buffers solved my problem of the gun doubling. Interesting news is how much more dot movement I get with 125 gr bullets versus 147 grain bullets. Did not get a chance to chrono any of the lighter bullets yet but its something to experiment with. Bill Link to comment

I have a JP barrel in mine as well and it took a lot of testing to find a load with decent accuracy. I tried a couple weights of Blue Bullets and Xtreme and all were around 2" at 25 yards. I was beginning to think there might be something wrong with the barrel until I tried Precision Delta 124gr JHPs and got under 1". Now I'm interested to see how it does with those at 50 and 100.

gerritm Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Shooting an 8MOA C-More at 25 yards it is hard to cover the exact spot each time especially as you go out towards 50 & 100. Did some shooting at 50 with several of the loads and it was more than acceptable, but I was not trying for group size. Not sure past 50. Seems like the 98gr are the most consistent and accurate at 25. With the BB next. Dot movement is least with the light bullets/light load as expected, with the 147's next. Both are very close. I am going to do some chrono work to make sure whatever load I use for USPSA makes PF, but for outlaw and steel matches the 98gr Egglestons are hard to beat. I will probably not shoot these in 3-gun at longer distances, so I am not too concerned. gerritm Link to comment
