Acme 147gr FP

Recommended Posts

Looking for load data for Acme 147FP with N320. I think I was running bayou at 3.2gr 1.15oal. Does that sound close? I have never used the flat points. This will be used in a glock 34. Thanks

I have used 3.3 for years @ 1.135 to make 132 PF. Yours should work. 1.150 is getting a little close to hanging up in the magazine so you might want to shorten that up some. At that OAL I get some nose diving depending on the magazine.

This was the load I tested the other week. I also loaded 3.5 grains but didn't get a chance to shoot that. I really liked the load below and have shot it out of my G34 as well. Below is my data from my Pro Chono a few weeks ago. It'll at least give you an idea. Best of luck!

Thanks guys. 3.8 sounds a little high but we will see. I'll load some up from 3.2 to 3.8 and see where I need to be at. I have never loaded the flat points. They were ordered by mistake, hopefully I like them because I just got 5k of them in.

Yeah. I loaded a bunch at 3.5, just haven't shot them in so long I just can't remember. It's possible that is the better load. And I'm not sure how I went from 3.5 to 3.8 as I usually work up loads in .2 grain increments...

It should be close but you most likely should be loading shorter since it is FP.
