TDA Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Diameter of the bullets can also have a lot of bearing on how accurate they are. For years I've been using 130 gr LSWC which mike at .359 to .360. Thought I'd try some coated and they mike .356 and are horribly inaccurate, shot some more of the LSWC and back to excellent accuracy. No crimp on either, just straighten the case walls so they match a straight edge. Same brass, same load, same primers and OAL. I just looked at Blue Bullets and what they they sell are .355" 9mm and .400" 40/10mm. Doesn't make much sense to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I typically get three holes, touching each other, from 15 meters, with MG. That with mixed brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar15rick Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well I just got some Montana gold 115 and 124 that i will be trying out this weekend. I'm sure those will do the trick for me. Thank you all for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 ar15rick, any chance you can let us know how it went? I am hunting accuracy and higher power-factor so I am looking for your thoughts. miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar15rick Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 I got to shoot it today and Montana Gold HP is the way to go. I loaded with 6.7gr of autocomp for 124gr (170 pf) and 7.6 gr of autocomp for 115 gr. (170 pf) I felt the 124gr to shoot smoother. The accuracy was superb. 5 shots at approx 17 yards shot in about a 2 in group. I shot everything off hand. I'm sure if I would've put it on a rest it would've been all in one hole. ar15rick, any chance you can let us know how it went?

kneelingatlas Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Awesome to hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnr88 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Montana Gold and Zero JHP seem the overwhelming choice of competitive open shooters. There is no price advantage to shoot anything else. I've tried coated 125s but they are not accurate at major power velocities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I too agree it's not worth it to try cheaper bullets. I wasted my money on some precision deltas. The MG 124 hp out performs the rest in every possible way (can't speed for zero's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 What's wrong with Precision Delta's? Great bullets, in my view, every bit as good as MG, but a bit faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) The overall profile doesn't perform as well. Not just as far as feeding from my gun but from a test with a seperate gun in a vice they did not perform as well.

bigboy69 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Try some blue bullets, they work great for me at 174PF in my Super. Precision DEltas are also great bullets. Edited July 25, 2016 by bigboy69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Ah thank you for the report. I have the MG HPs now to get to the loader and then the range. I'll settle for accuracy. miranda eta where has the time gone? Edited July 25, 2016 by Miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 What's wrong with Precision Delta's? Great bullets, in my view, every bit as good as MG, but a bit faster. I used MG for years in my open gun. Yes, they had excellent accuracy and they were mostly always available. MG prices kept going through the roof. New player in the game. Precision Delta. PD's new HPs in 115 and 124 are better!. They seal the gases better, extremely accurate, available all the time, and they cost less. I do not work for PD nor do I gain anything from PD by posting.

IFF I ever run out of MG's, I'll have to give the PD's a try - sounds good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
