Accuracy, for me, tends to improve in 9x19 with the larger bullets. Where to find them? Precision Bullets makes fantastic swaged/coated 0.356" bullets. The 125gn L-FP are $225/3500 and the 147gn L-FP are $215/3000. These are very accurate, being as consistent in weight and dimensions as jacketed bullets. All of Missouri Bullets 9mm cast bullets are 0.356", but I prefer the Cowboy #2 125gn L-TCFP at 0.358" for $36/500. I have been wanting to try some of Precision's 147 grain 9mm 0.356". Does anyone have a discount code for Precision? Also, Precision says they don't recommend using Titegroup or N-310 with their bullets. What powder(s) have you used in 9x19?

Steve RA Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I use Australian Clays in 9mm and .45ACP - with Precision bullets and also others I've tried - lead or coated, no plated or jacketed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I really don't care for TiteGroup, but I had no special difficulties with it and Precision Bullets. Maybe just my lot of powder, but it tends to throw fairly wide variations in velocity/recoil even with weighed charges and is not very accurate compared to Bullseye, Red Dot, AA2, or Solo 1000. It does burn HOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan now - I'd been shooting various 135s and 147s before. My Tanfo will take long ammo since the chamber's been throated, but I also carry an M&P SHIELD and sometimes lend my M&P Production buddy some ammo. M&Ps and CZs have similarly short chambers. Turns out that the short guns really like the BBI 125. This plunks and spins! Blue bullets and others have a similar mold and should also load as long, but I'm a big fan of the guys who run BBI - they're local and they're active USPSA shooters. It is that profile. I was loading my Blue Bullets to 1.135-1.140 in their 135 grain and would have no problems, but their 147s I had to shorten to 1.120 before they would chamber correctly.
