This seems to work well, but I want to double check. mixed brass WSP 124gr Precision Delta FMJ 3.8gr titegroup OAL 1.135 1036 FSP M&P full size. Overall, I like it. It is however, a bit smokey. Does the FPS sound about right? Anyone have suggestions for anything better/improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good to me.The FPS sounds just a bit fast.But definitely a good starting place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Titegroup can be a bit smokey. It is a pretty hot powder, flame-wise, so it burns a little of the exposed lead off the back of the bullet. JHP bullets can help alleviate this, as the base is not exposed.

Good point, makes a lot of sense Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 That sounds pretty fast. I get about that velocity out of my 5" guns with 4 grains of Titegroup, behind a Zero 125 grain jhp with OAL of 1.12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeZer Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It looks quite right. TG is not only a 'faster' powder but also has 'higher' burning temp compared to most others; thus burns some lead in bullet's exposed base, as it was mentioned before. If you shot lead bullets - it'd be even worse due to burning bullet lube as well. If you are on budget - try CMJ plated bullets, Berry's are very accurate and very reasonably priced. As far as velocity - different guns will shoot exact same ammo with different results - your data is well within. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
