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.

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

Also keep in mind, reloading is fun but sometimes very perplexing. Your gun might just simply not like those bullets. Or the oal with those bullets. Or your powder with those bullets. Or your crimp with the bullets. Weight of the bullets. I guess my point is there are a ton of variables. In my testing when I changed oal by a mere 1/1000th my groups would tighten or loosen AND move from one place to another on the target such as 3 oclock, 10 oclock etc. I probably would loosen up the crimp a little and try again. Then I would start making them longer and shorter, add or drop powder as needed and keep testing. If they don't eventually start grouping I think the gun don't like them. Thank you. I will try all those things. I am also going to try montana gold. I hear that they should be better for the velocities that I am trying to reach to make major pf. Thank you all for the input.

Ease up on the crimp? Too much can ruin the plating as well. I will check the crimp as well. Thanks.

But why would the barrel group well when I put regular stock rounds? I think if it was the barrel then it wouldn't group with anything I shoot through it. Also the barrel has about 1000 rounds out of it. I think Sarge might be right and the copper is sheering off

Even at 10 yards I couldn't trust it. Shot placement was still all over the place.

They are extreme HP

I will try some Montana gold. If you do have a sample pack hoe much do you want for it? PM me if you want.

I'm loading on a dillon 550. I did check the screws and they weren't lose. Even then as soon as I was done with one mag of the stuff I loaded, I put a mag of the regular blazer ammo and it shot well.

I recently got an STI open gun in 9mm and 38 super, 2 different barrels. I had all the components to load 9mm so I did. I loaded them with the following: 124 gr xtreme HP Fed small rifle primers 6.8 gr of autocomp (to make major) 1.165 OAL Everything cycles properly but the accuracy is bad. I mean at 15 yards I could not get a group at all. One bullet will hit center then one will hit about 6 inches low then another will hit a few inches either eight or left. And this even worse at 25 yards, at times it doesn't even hit paper. I then put some regular blazer brass 115 gr and thw gun grouped the way it is suppose to. What can you all tell me to do to get the consistency and accuracy of the bullets. I know it's not the gun because it grouped well with the stock blazer ammo. Thanks,

Has anyone had any experience with the IVUE glasses? Any good comments or bad comments. I am thinking of asking for a set of those for xmas but would like some feedback if anyone has ever used them.
