^^^^^^^ This!
I switched to N320 because of this. I'm okay with paying the extra $$ because I don't like scraping the residue off my guns.
Same here. If I shoot a match with Titegroup, I like to do a full cleaning afterwards.
I don't want that crud building up too much. Especially in my trigger group.
N320 is WAY cleaner after shooting a match. I only feel the need to do a real basic cleaning when using that.
-
Titegroup is a little smokey with HiTek or Polymer coated bullets, but to be honest, I never notice the smoke while shooting.
Only if I review videos that someone took of me shooting, do I notice the smoke.
I never notice it IRL or from 1st person videos.
Same goes for N320.
Both are good options.

SO I was able to collect some data this morning from .355 vs .356 loads.
Small bump in velocity for the .356 loads.
I loaded them back to back, so no changes were made to my press for each batch.
Accuracy was very similar between the bunches.
I'm leaning towards the .356 bullets right now, but looking at the SD, the .355 are slightly better.
-
Here is my data from today. When the .356 bullets show up, I'm going to do the same loading and will report back with the results.

I'm happy with the SD on this 19 round string. I had to delete a shot that was picked up from next to me.
I'm self admittedly kind of an impatient pistol shooter, but this group isn't bad for me. Firing as fast as the Garmin could read the shots @ 8yds to the 2" target.
I have a match next Sunday and won't be able to hit the square range until the following weekend to collect data, but I'll report after that.

u will gain pf with .356 at current charge.
Thanks for the reply.
That's the train of thought that I was going down. Probably from the slight increase in pressure?
-
Switching between .355 and .356" projectiles, what difference did you see at the Chrono?
I am loading .355 147gr Blue flat points around 2.95gr of Titegroup @ 1.135" oal and want to try some .356"
-
I'm 250 rounds in with the Servicios and they have all gone bang.
The first 100 were loaded on a Dillon 650.
The remainder I did a little testing with hand priming tools....from squishing them until they were flat, to seating them with moderate/heavy pressure a little beyond fully seated. All were good.
Firing them mostly in my Glock 17 with 5lbs striker spring and 13lbs recoil spring.
Also in stock g17 and g19 as well.
ES and SD are not bad. Very close to Win and Federal SPP.
Maybe around 1fps higher SD.

I've been running a NIB version since they were first introduced. I forget how long that's been now. Maybe going on 2 years? Just checked my AIM acct. Ordered October 2015.
It has about 5,000 through it. The NiB is flaking on the gas key, which started around 1500rds, but it has run flawless without a single issue.
I run it in an 18" rifle length gas setup with standard block, spring and carbine buffer.
I tuned the rifle with the load.
55gr
22.5gr H335
Very soft shooting and extremely accurate.
Just a couple days ago I ordered a nitride version as I am building a backup 3gun rifle.
I had most of the parts sitting around and won a Nordic 15" handguard at a match last weekend, so that kinda spurred the build.
-
The ALG EMR rails are good value, light and have plenty of clearance for your gas block. I have the V2 because I still run BUIS.
I prefer fluted barrels, as long as you don't mind spending a few extra bux for them.

Debating between Wolf and Hornady myself. Since they're both 55gr... is there really any difference between them? Is one more consistent in terms of bullet weight?? Just wondering why there's so much difference in price among all the 223 bullets.
I haven't weighed them to check for consistency, but they look to be well made, judging how the exposed lead looks at the tail end.
I have seen much more expensive bullets look terrible at the boat tail where the lead is exposed.
My only regret was I only bought 4k when they were cheaper.
Had I known better, I would have picked up at least 12k.
I even further regret splitting the order with a buddy, so I only ended up with 3k.
As they approach the price of Hornady, I will buy Hornady 55gr.
They have proven good with my hoser load of 22.5gr H335 @round 2.245" with win SRP in any brass I have put them in. Mostly LC, PMC, RP.

I see lots of folks using Prairie Storm shells for spinners.
I am assuming they are using #6 shot 2 3/4" 1 1/4oz loads @ 1500 fps.
Any other alternatives?
What do you guys and gals use?

I like the Wolf a lot too, only thing is the cannelure is lower on the round compared to Hornady, etc
Yes, it is.
I like that though. Because at my usual OAL, the cannelure is just hidden at the end of the case mouth.
Not sure why I like that so much, but it's clean looking.
With Hornadys, I don't really get any purchase on the case mouth into the cannelure, so it is pretty much useless.
Are you using the same OAL with them as you do with the Hornadys?
Yea, same OAL.
2.248" is what I shoot for, but varies between 2.245-2.250"

I have been having good luck with the Wolf 55gr projectiles.
22.5gr H335 ( below book min I believe but no issues)
2.248" oal
The top row of targets are with that load at 50 yards
-
I've tried that. But the blood from the one hand made it really tricky to hold the Dremel steady while doing the other. I guess I'm not really tactical. Perhaps I should wait for my beard to grow in

Next time try a soldering iron. Much less blood.
Instead of soap, consider a cream such as this...............

I just recently shot my first 25/25 ever in trap using my JM930
-
147s are just cool.
OK, I'm sold.

No worries. I did suggest the high torque 'deluxe' which is stiffer outer than the regular high torque.
I was hoping to get the Deluxe, but it was out of stock in my size.
My plan is to use the DAA outer for 3gun and the CR outer for pistol only.
-
OK, so a little update.
I ended up getting one of the CR super torque belts.
The inner belt is worlds above the DAA inner.
The CR outer is quite a bit softer and more flexible than the DAA outer.
So I think I am going to run the CR inner and the DAA outer and see how it goes.
Thanks everybody for all of your help and insight.

Great article Patrick.

If you start polishing trigger group parts, be sure you don't get too aggressive with your polishing methods.
Some flitz metal polish on the end of a qtip and a little patience is all you need.
Leave the dremel tool in the toolbox.
I went with the lone wolf -connector and 6lbs trigger spring. Hand polished all mating surfaces.
I am really happy with the results. The polishing just takes a little time and attention to detail.

I have been extremely happy with my aero ultralight spr mount.

Looking for load data on N320 w/ a 125 gr or 135 gr RN coated bullets
in 9mm/38 Caliber
Posted
I just started a workup with N320 and 135gr Bayou round nose bullets.
3.4gr only got me to 900fps avg, with a couple lows down to 880-ish fps @ 1.125" oal.
I was going to try 3.5 and 3.6gr next trip. I have a feeling I will end up using 3.55gr
Out of a glock 17 with a wilson combat match barrel.
For reference 147gr Blue Flat Point with 3.34gr of N320 @ 1.132" oal gets me 128-130PF out of the same gun.
