I could imagine the higher PF gets the comp to do a bit, I can see that. Makes sense. Plus keeps the gas high enough for the blowback design.

So far, my pcc been reliable with 1.135-1.150 factory 147gr ammo I’ve tried. Most seem to load down to 1.10-1.125 though. So I thought I’d ask. My thought was to have a load for each. So I could tune the pcc pf down to 130 or so instead of the 140-145 most get running their pistol loads in them.

Although I was looking for a generalized answer, I still should have listed my setup. PSA AR9 16" complete (blem model) with Glock mags. Currently starting the stage with my ETS40 and pulling Glock 33rd as needed from belt. So far it's been reliable with the factory stuff I've ran. 1.138-1.155 range OAL. Fenix 115gr 1100fps FMJ reman range ammo. Even lower recoil Fenix NAS3 147gr FMJ and Precision Delta 147gr FMJ matchpack ammo. PSA AR9, 16" barrel, Taccom 3 stage buffer system(short stroke), PSA 3.5lb match trigger, Holosun 510c, and Ultradyne lithium 9mm comp. ETS 40 and 31rd mags. Glock 33rd mags. No extensions at this time.

What OAL are you loading too? Are you finding longer or shorter working better for reliability?

Definitely seems to be the case. The others I have competed against here in SE Michigan all swear one ragged hole accuracy at 7 yds. I seem to be the unlucky one here. On the forums and more widespread though, there are plenty others like me. Maybe just a simple crown recut would do it? Who knows.

I have a Level 2 match Saturday, after that I am taking the dot off to verify. It is a Sig Romeo 1 Pro. So far the only thing I have come across is 1-2 people getting the crown recut seemed to help. I know it isn't the norm for these to be inaccurate, but I was surprised to see as many others complain about it as I have.

Approx 3000 rds and sadly, only 1 X5 Legion. lol Accuracy has been the same from day one. I was quite shocked, but just stuck with the "good enough" mindset. As time goes on, it is really starting to bother me. Specially as I have been getting more and more long shots in my USPSA matches.

I have terrible accuracy with my X5 Legion. Regardless of bullet choice. 115, 124, 147.... various power factors as well. It just does not group well for me. I can easily hold tight groups out to 20yds with any other handgun we own. In fact, I can get better groups with iron sights at 20yds with literally any other pistol, than I can at 10 with the X5. It's a bit frustrating. I used it this season in Carry Optics and went with the "good enough for USPSA" theory, but lately been getting quite a few longer shots at matches and it's really been an issue. Finally started hunting for answers/fixes and instead I found a surprisingly amount of similar stories. I have been shooting 124gr match loads for the past while, but group size has not changed between any of the ammo I have tried. Our Shadow2 will shoot any ammo accurately, regardless of bullet grain. The X5L refuses to make a tight group. Lockup seems to be good. Thought about changing the barrel out, but have also read a good target crown job has helped one person. Maybe it is time to sell and switch divisions.

I came here for accuracy answers to my X5 Legion... I was a 25yd bullseye shooter and can cloverleaf groups at 7-10 with almost any handgun... Except my Legion... easily the fastest gun I own and I use it in Carry Optics USPSA... but man does it group poorly. Sure, at 7yds it is "good enough" for USPSA, but when we start getting 20-25yd targets, it just doesn't cut it. Was hoping to find some answers, but I see it is much more common than word of mouth would let me believe. I've tried 115, 124, and 147gr bullets of various power factors. Nothing groups well. Was contemplating a barrel change. Has anyone tried that? Has anyone figured out the secret to improving the accuracy of these?
