blueeyedme Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) 1.145 to 1.150 in mine, but using Solo not WSF. I run my 147g Bayou Bullet @1.135 Edited February 28, 2012 by blueeyedme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroe3 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 My XD needs a short round. I load Precision Moly FP at 1.10 and Bear Creek Moly TC at 1.125 due to bullet shape variances. Find your ideal COL for your gun and work up from the recommended starting load for lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_P Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I run my 147gr at 1.135, granted it's over W231. Runs fine out of every type of gun I've put it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm0kyj03 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I run my 147gr at 1.135, granted it's over W231. Runs fine out of every type of gun I've put it through. set mine at 1.12 as thats were they would fall free of the barrel on there own .. test fired 15 this morning at 3.4 grn they ran well no signs of over pressure. They made a small puff of smoke and ill have to see if that bothers me enough to not by a large lot of these. now i just need to hit up a buddy with a chrono.

polizei1 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Mike, what is your powder weight? I just loaded some 147's up for testing and I loaded 3.5gr,3.8,4.2gr with an OAL of 1.11-1.15 (5 rounds at each length). Hoping to shoot these soon, but I'm a bit worried about the 4.2gr loads. I'm going to save those for last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroe3 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Moly's going to smoke a little. No way around it. You can tune your load to reduce the smoke but it'll never be as clean as plated or jacketed. Very seldom does the smoke interfere with my shooting.
