I used 3.0 grains of VV 310 Blue Bullets 147 grain at 1.17", .379" crimp, chrono'd at 133 PF, worked great but it does have some unburned powder left in the gun.

3.2gr Titegroup with a 147 Blue Bullet at 1.10 OAL in my Glock 34. I was making 139 PF. I dropped my load to 3.0 grains haven't had a chance to chrono yet. I know I'm loading a bit shorter then the other responses on here but I use an EGW case gauge and if they were any longer they weren't seating in the gauge.

I'm also using the 147gr FP blue bullets. Usually use TG but recently picked up a pound of not universal Clays. I'm pretty new to handgun reloading as I've got way more experience with rifle. I am having a problem with the OAL on my reloads fluctuating. Normally set at 1.058" per the Lyman 50th but seems to jump around. Anyone got any tips?

FP should be a longer coal. In a cz. And longer than most other mullet profiles. coal is specific for each different barrel.....

Could you elaborate on this for me? Should I not seat to COAL per the manual? Should I do a process like what the Hornady OAL gauge does for my rifle rounds? Seat the bullet just before the lands? Thanks for your help. On a side note I don't suppose anyone knows of an OAL gauge for pistols do they?

Love this load. Very soft, very accurate. I loaded flat point 147 Blue Bullets with 3.2 grains of TG at 1.11 OAL for my G35 with a KKM 40-9 conversion barrel.  Awesome load. I stopped using the EGW gauge, it's a tight gauge and had many good loads not pass the EGW. I use the plunk test in the barrel and a Dillon gauge. Just wish I didn't get that blue coating all over my fingers when loading, otherwise no complaints.

I've been running 147 Montana Gold with 3.7 grns N320 at 1.15 to ensure 900 + for power factor.....I'm really impressed with these BB stats....more tests this weekend........hope these make some sense!!!!

So how's everyone like N320 vs Tite Group? I just got through my supply of TG and would like to try a different powder. Maybe something that meters a bit better. For example; my 115gr XTP work up resulted in my tightest groups at 4.3grs and 130pf 92f544fe31759682bb1110151269aeef.jpg
But for one reason or another my powder measure will only consistently throw 4.2gr or 4.4gr.

What did you use for OAL on those rounds?
