Mat Price Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) I cant find any data after searching for about an hour for a "real" oal for the xtp. All hogden gives is 147 jhp = max oal for wsf. Does anyone have a suggestion? I was thinking around the lines 1.150 but that just seems long looking at it it does chamber well and extract. I was hoping to be between 1.100-1.125. I need to make minor PF and i am afraid having them out that far and only using 4 grains is not going to cut it out of my glock 34 hogden gives 1.100 for everything BUT wsf on the 147 xtp.

The_Vigilante Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 OAL/COL is relative to the pistol and bullet you are using. There isn't any absolute OAL/COL which fits all pistols. If you are using your barrel as the case gauge and the loaded round passes that test and also fits in your mags then you have found a "usable" OAL. You are going to need a Chrony to determine what PF you are getting with your loads. Do you know someone that has one you can use? If your load is not meeting PF then you need to start adjusting your load/oal until you find one that gives you PF without any pressure signs. Trial and error-trial and error.

Mat Price Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 ok thanks 1.125 passes the barrel test on both my stock g-17 and lone wolf g34 bbl. Yeah we have a chrony at the club. that I have used working up other loads. I just wanted to be safe and not go to deep ect.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
