Is anyone on the forums running a Viht powder PCC load? Looking for a 121 MG load. Thanks!!!

This is the most admirable post. So true. Calculations and such in 9major only get you somewhere to start. the fine tuning is done after hours of notes and range time.. Very well said!

No Kevin I don't have a fascination with your name. You're welcome.

Yep, 147 Gr bullets are cool. Thanks Kevin Sanders!

teros, my 147 load ran great! The world should be blessed with more folks like you!

Thanks for being cordial. It's the pressure with my group that I allow to affect my head. HAH will be awesome.

Agreed. No one on a forum would ever compromise my manhood bud. Nevertheless, this thread has turned toward the dark side with regard to the "we've always/never done it that way" statements. The proof is in the timer and the timer has been good to me as of late.

You guys are so funny. I misinterpreted one fellow shooters statement and all hell broke loose. Yeah teros135, I'am currently a D class open shooter in USPSA. I also have only shot about 8 USPSA matches and 6 of which were with a minor gun that didn't run for shit. Furthermore, I began shooting 5 months ago @ 35 years of age. So my current classification is likely to be expected in the sense that I live where a solid group of GM's dominate the nation. Lets go a bit further.. I've barely scratched the surface of my career in the shooting games. Come one come all if you'd like to stop running your mouth and put it on the timer. Next major comp I'll be at is the Hard As Hell Multi Gun in UT. Looking forward to meeting all of you on this thread! Last but not least, my 147's shot like a damn .22 last night at a local steel match. Gun stayed flat, and aside from my own f*#kups, the match went great! http://www.rsscaz.com/results/tue_nite.pdf

That was a joke. It'll take more than a few old timers to rattle me that bad... Mike Drop.

Good god man, cant you understand that I'm trying to establish some "findings"??? I didn't compare irony to science. I'm simply saying that you're babbling on about the scientific method and I'm in the field shooting 3-5 matches a week and trying to get my shots off with more accuracy and speed.. Bottom line... I started this thread for 9 Major load data. After this back and forth with you, (that will be coming to an screeching stop on my end as soon as I submit reply) I'm going to switch to .38 SC and never look back on this banter. Have a great day.

No, its not the name drop game, and none of you are Brian f-ing Enos so you don't make the rules. Furthermore, keep in mind that many of you have published film of your matches.. If you don't know that Robbie, Nils, Muneki, Naim, etc. live and shoot here at our two flagship clubs you've been hiding under a rock. I'm blessed to have these guys coach and mentor me. Regardless if its a pointer or a 7 hour clinic. Only one shooter has given me load data for 147's, (147 GR FP behind 5.6 gr of CFE). If any of them wanted to share their recipes, they probably would've done so already as I started this thread months ago. The irony here is that you people talk so much theory, science, and hypothetical bullshit with regard to 147 gr loads, yet your legitimately pestering for load data. What are you guys going to do? Call the boys out when you're RO'ing them at a major? C'mon..

I live in the Phoenix metro area. If you're a competitive shooter, you know who calls this place home.. I'm not playing the name drop game. With regard to recipes, they were shared in confidence and I'd be happy to share my findings pending chrono sessions. It was not my gun that I shot the 147's from. Once again as previously stated, I shot 29 rounds as fast as I could engage the trigger.

Thank you for your input. I've been shooting 124's regularly. Obviously thats the drug of choice. I said in a previous post that I misinterpreted a statement regarding the JHP situation. As previously stated, I'm going to shoot some 147's out of my pistol and see what happens. Cheers.

If I had the time that you have to challenge posts on these forums all day and night I'd be whooping my AZ comrades that are world champs due to the amount of time i spent behind my guns. I don't know how many open guns I've shot Kevin. I know that I've been trying many recipes and I'm still not satisfied. The gun that I shot 147's from shot flat and produced very little muzzle flip. I was able to follow the dot through all 29 rounds during a rapid fire exercise. I'm going to give the 147's a whirl if you don't mind

I'm gonna give it hell.. Back from Mexico next week and game on!

After speaking with Muneki a little more in detail about this over the weekend he said that th berry's HHP I was shooting was not suggested to fly at 1400+ FPS as I was shooting them. Talked with berry's and they don't recommend exceeding 1150 FPS.. Hopefully this puts this nightmare to bed. Sorry for the confusion fellas.

Im sure Donnie shoots his own stuff. However, the bullet is so damn dirty. My comp literally has lead stuck in it after every match. If I keep them slower, they shoot okay and eject. If I load them a little long and faster, they FTF just enough to drive me nuts. Had some random paper hits and weighed the rounds, finding inconsistencies. I went back to MG's and perfect, clean, precision. That's all. I shot a local pro's gun after a club match on Sunday and the gun was a silky smooth dream to shoot. I got his load data. I'll check back in after chrono session.

I have a ton of 147's. I'm going to search the forums for WAC load data for them. However, if anyone has a recipe to start with.. Please share!

FTF as in failure to feed. I trust in how my gun works. In my limited gun and 3G pistol, no issues with the coated guys. Open gun.. No thanks .

Agreed. I'm not knocking Donnie or BB. Just not a good fit for me or my major cal guns..

To thicken the plot, I learned the hard way that coated bullets, (at least Bayou Bullets) are NOT worthy of 1300+ FPS. I shot a match Saturday and had nothing but issues running BB 124 TCG's behind 6.8 gr of WAC. Yesterday I ran a 130 MG RN behind 6.4 gr of WAC and shot my best USPSA match.

HS6 has yielded less than favorable results for me as well. CFE pistol is next. Anyone have CFE data?

I'm fairly confident that I've never built a bullet in spite.. However, the second i get home from vacation... Game on. JHP's over large WAC charges!
