Pro2AInPA Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 What OAL are you guys loading your ammo to for your M&P 9 Pros? I am currently loading my 147gr loads to 1.135". However, I had a bunch of minor ammo for my open gun along with me at the range, loaded to 1.170", and decided to try it in the M&P. Wouldn't you know, it fit the mags fine and functioned perfectly. I never would have guessed ammo that long would have functioned in the M&P . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro2AInPA Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yet another reason I'm glad I switched to this platform from Glocks. Much more freedom in loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETexPops Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I seem to be stuck with the 1.135" COL for almost all my 9mm loads. Runs good in the Spartan, XD, XDm, and the M&P 9 Pro. Just checked out some 147's loaded at 1.140 with Solo 1000 (1st time I've used it) and had outstanding results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98006 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 if it fits in the mag,its GTG. For me,I usually load everything to 1.14-1.15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisenhow Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It depends on the bullet profile. I use the precision black bullets (flat points) and have to load them short (1.105") so the rifling doesn't get engaged. This is in various 9mm M&P's with factory barrels.

DWFAN Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The Missouri bullet 125gr LRN has to be loaded really short in my Pro, I quit using that profile just for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been able to load the Precision 147's to 1.115 without it touching the rifling, but try to keep it around 1.110. Precision Delta 147's I load at 1.140.

I can load them a little longer than that, I have to check my notes at home, but I think it's 1.120. 1.135 was definitely too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamf_shadow Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I loaded some Lane 125gr LRN out to 1.145" and had zero feed problems with 500 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBags04 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 For Precision Delta's I have loaded out to 1.15" with their 147RN. For the Precision 147FP's I can only load out to 1.12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
