    What bullet were you shooting before?

     

    Your hottest batch at 4.2 was only 131 power factor through one of the fastest guns out there. Sounds like 4.4gr would be the ticket if it's accurate and shows no pressure signs.

     

    (I prefer to be around 133-135 pf)

    Been shooting the 124 gr tc bayou bullet ,don't compete just shooting steel with friends for fun. I just like to shoot as accurate as I can because I'm ocd lol.

  2. Prima v batch 16055 data shot from a stock g-34 at twenty yards using open sights with a prop. All loads was ten shots some of the groups might have one or two shots pulled out of the group. Some of the first shots would be out of the group and my eyes are not what they use to be lol.

    124 gr  r/n bayou 1.15  oal

    3.8grs  1000 fps  43 17sd

    1.3" group

     

    124 gr r/n bayou  1.15 oal

    4.0 grs.  1012-64-22

    2.7" group

     

    124 gr  r/n bayou. 1.15 oal

    4.2 grs. 1057-45-14

    2.2" group

     

    124 gr tc bayou 1.070 oal

    3.8 grs 992-31-10

    2.8" group

     

    124 gr tc bayou  1.075 oal

    4.0 grs  1029-33-11

    2.3" group

     

    Had better numbers with the 124 tc bullets due to being seated deeper in the case imho. I used unis ginex primers with all loads.

    9mm bullets have to be pushed fast to get great accuracy. Most people are trying to find an accurate load that will make a certain power factor, and be soft shooting. Hence is why they tried Solo 1000, N320, Tightgroup, etc. For truly accurate 9mm you have to use powders like N330/340, Power Pistol, and Accurate #7. A 115 gr JHP will be over 1200 fps, and a 124 over 1100. Look at the bullseye forum and you will see what they are using to get 1.5" groups at 50 yds in custom bullseye guns. One load that comes to mind is 115 Nosler or XTP at 1.08" oal, behind 4.8-5.0 of N330 or N340. 6.2 gr of power pistol works too.

    Darrell do you think twist rate can have much effect on any of these factors?

    You chrono this load?

    I don't have any chrono data yet still tinkering with loads for accuracy. Been playing from 3.6-4.0 with a couple differs bullets when I find what I think is accurate I'll drag the chrono out just to lazy lol. I'll try to get it out this coming week.

  5. I shot a couple 8 shot groups out of my g-34 yesterday at twenty five yards propped with a laser using bayou 124 tc bullets with 3.8 grs at 1.070 oal. One group was 2.1"& the other was 2.7". Cases comes out of gun a lot cleaner then TG and the gun runs cooler then TG.

    Anyone have any new data on this?

     

    I finally got a chance to do a reloading session this week and had some issues with the powder settling.

     

    I attach a motorized hair clipper to my powder hopper so the powder settles and I get more consistently throws. However with this powder (this is the only type of powder I've used like this) the variation in size causes them to separate when vibrated. So the largeneral pieces move to the top while the small pieces go to the bottom. 

     

    This causes a large variation from small to big in my throw weights. More than .2gr.

     

    Anyone else have issues wth this? For now I've turned off the clipper and stir the powder around every once in a while. If it doesnt stay consistent I may have to pass on this poweder.

    Yes I've loaded several hundred rounds and still having issues. I can drop four 3.7gr charges for 14.8 grs three or four times and load a hundred and check it and it will be off a couple of tenths. I tried putting a vibratory on it for a few seconds a couple times ,it only seemed to settle the powder the first time I used it. Several hundred rounds later still having the problem. The powder is clean shooting and accurate enough for me but this powder dropping problem is a pain. I've about decided just to use a arrow on my knob that's on my adjustment of my powder measure. I've been wondering if anyone else is having this problem lol.

  7. Had a friend shooting his Glock 9mm today and he had a case rupture blowing out the mag on the ground in several pieces not hurting him or the pistol. Just wanting some opinions on what went wrong,was the slide not closed all the way or just some work hardend brass? I don't think it was over charged because is a very careful reloader.

  8. I had a friend had a 9mm case that blew out just in front of the rim today. It blew his mag out on to ground in several pieces did not hurt him or the Glock. Opinions wanted did it fire before the slide was closed or was the brass just work harden from to many loading? I'm pretty sure it's was not over charged.

    You really don't need to adjust the laser. All you have to do is make sure that you put the laser on the same POA for each round and let the bullets group where they want. Small group, accurate ammo. Large group, crappy ammo. As long as the laser is secure internally and on the rails, you should be good to go. (unless, of course, you want to use the laser for other shooting)

     

    Yeah you right ,I got a good friend that uses a laser just for load work ups and I've borrowed it a couple times for the same thing we usually shoot it at twenty five yards not worried about adjusting it as long as it's on the paper is all that matters for load work ups. Works very good.

    Whatja shootin' ?

    Sig p 320 9mm I bought it kinda on quick decision after a friend at church was showing his off to me ,hadn't bought a new pistol in years so it was time lol.

  11. Signed up a month or so back and never introduced myself,thought I did but it was on the sig forum. Been into the rifle thing for the last several years and now I'm getting back into the pistols again,been reloading shooting on and off since since the seventies. After reading thur some the forums here there is a lot I need to learn about pistol reloading really enjoying some the knowledge here.

  12. Bought a 320 about six weeks ago and I was not impressed with the 7-1/2 pound trigger so being a sucker for gadgets  I bought a gg trigger which did dropped it a couple pounds making it pretty close to my glocks. The problem is I feel stupid after seeing that if I would have been a little more patient I could have got the apex for half the cost lol.
