Picked up 3 cases of Blazer 115's for $108 including tax per case. That was at Academy Sports with friends and family discount of 15% yesterday only. I would have bought more, but all they had was 3 cases. Power factor from my M&P was 128.9 with this load yesterday.

Didn't notice that much difference in recoil impulse, but then again I was just testing for accuracy and shot over a hundred rounds total.

All these are with Berry's Plated 147 RN Bullets seated at an OAL of 1.42" Crimped at .380. Tightgroup powder.

Best load today was 3.6 of 231 for the M&P, I will experiment later with a tighter crimp, and maybe different OAL, but it seemed to really like 231. Also CCI 115gr blazers shot better too with a velocity of 1121fps SD was 12.5 ES was 37 PF was 128.9 group at 15 yds was 1.3"

I'm using Berry's plated 180 JHP in .40, and 147 RN 9mm.

1.142 has been working fine for me, in a Glock 34, Sprinfield 1911, and M&P. Will be working on new load data using Berry's plated 147 tomorrow.

I use Tightgroup for 9, 40, and 45. I use Fed primers because I tend to have light trigger pulls on my revolvers and its just easier for me to use one primer brand. For 357 I've always used Alliant 2400, its did the best in my 686. For 9 I use 3.0gr with 147 lrn, 40 is 180 JHP or Plated with 3.5 gr, and 45 is 3.7gr with 200gr LSWC.

My load 180 Zero JHP, 4.8 Tightgroup, 1.22 OAL Fed 100 primers
