Lyman 356637 147 gr Bullet

I have been trying to work a decent load with this bullet to make 130 PF for IDPA. The bullet casts out at 154 gr with my alloy. To date results have been poor to say the least out of my M&P Pro and FS. Accuracy has been terrible compared to my 125gr bullet loadings. I'v have tried Clays, Unique, Titegroup, and 231. I don't start to see decent groupings with this bullet until I hit around 934FPS which is faster than I need. The objective using the heavier bullet is to reduce muzzle flip and felt recoil for faster splits.

I am concerned the 1 - 18 twist rate of the M&P maybe the problem as far as accuracy is concerned. The twist rate really doesn'r favour heavier bullets.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. If your load works for 147 gr bullets it should work for the heavier 154 gr cast bullet I am using.

Take Care
