Darrell Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Here is a pdf I created with all my test data for the Bayou Bullets in various 9mm pistols. Some polymer pistols tested good in the Ransom Rest, but the XDM didn't. I'll be doing some more test with new bench rest and merit optical device on my glasses so I can compare my old reading to my new ones. Enjoy and remember YMMV.

toddje Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 This is excellent, thanks! Looks like I need to stay away from Bayou with my M&P Pro... thorough I like his bullets in my 1911's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G. Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 This is excellent, thanks! Looks like I need to stay away from Bayou with my M&P Pro... thorough I like his bullets in my 1911's. Consider trying out the 147s before writing them off in your M&P. Mine shoots the heavier bullets great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider trying out the 147s before writing them off in your M&P. Mine shoots the heavier bullets great. OK - mine shoots some other moly/black bullets (147s) well, so that may hold true for me as well. Are you using a stock barrel? Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartens Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have a standard M&P and it shoots most bullets with acceptable accuracy but, it really likes 147 grain bullets in any flavor, jacketed, plated, moly, and plain old lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'm using the Bayou 135gr in my Shadow and also use them in my 9 major open gun for Steel Matches. I shot some test groups at 15 yards with both guns and the accuracy is very good, the holes were all tied together call it a <1" but then again only 15 yards. Load was either 4.2gr of WST or 5.5gr of AutoComp. YMMV I prefer the 135gr over the 147gr, just a recoil preference, the 147 flips less but hits harder in the palm, the 135 seems like a good compromise, that gives a bit snappier vs sluggish recoil pluse.

FLSlim Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Great work up. I've been very happy with BBs in 9 and 45. I find the 147 gr. 9mm to be a pretty soft shooter and very accurate out of my Glock (using WSF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the BB 135gr. resized from .356 to .357? (from notes in PDF for Shadow with TG Powder it appears) I did and experiment trying some sized .357, and went back to .356. Wasn't much of an improvement to have to wait to get them sized different than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
