Shadowrider Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've shot several thousand 147 grain hardcast from a Magma Engineering mold with 3.5 grains of WST. 1.110" OAL. 130PF and a nice soft load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeZer Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 N320 may be a little too fast for the bullet. I'm still wondering why there is no love for N330... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) 3.5 of Solo 1000 at 1.120". About 135-140 pf IIRC. This is my production load. No love for N330 because faster powders give less felt recoil and go further on the same jug. Edited January 6, 2011 by twodownzero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampleworks Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 N320 may be a little too fast for the bullet. I'm still wondering why there is no love for N330... There's love here! I've ran Zeros, Berry's, and now Missouri lead 147s over N330 for the last 5 years out of my 5" XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) N320 may be a little too fast for the bullet. I'm still wondering why there is no love for N330... 320 is fantastic with 124 and 147 in 9mm. I agree with Vigilante. 3.4-3.6 should be a good start.

ChrisW Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just got some Precision Bullets in 147gr and did a chrono on Monday. I am using Win 231 at 3.5gr and in 35 deg F they were running an average of 885 FPS for a PF of 130. The book says at 72 deg they should run 905 FPS with a 133 PF so that sounds about right. OAL of 1.118 or so. These are not too smokey and have a nice soft recoil. I had been shooting 125gr FMJ with 4.7gr of 231 and these feel a lot nicer.
