chuckstur Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I am struggling to find an accurate coated bullet (BBI) load after several false starts. Recommendations, with group size, please! Best so far is 6" @ 25 yards off of a bag under the butt. Thanks, Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saab Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Do you have a stock pistol? What is BBI? My pro 9 with a KKM barrel shoots 2" or better with Rainier plated HP 115gr. 4.1gr of Titegroup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horseman Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The only way I could get decent groups was with 147's. I shoot MB lead cone 147. It was very interesting working up the load. I made several .1/10th of a grain different loads from low to high velocity. I loaded 20 each of VV320 and shot 5 over a chrony and 15 at a 2 inch circle at 10 yards slow freestyle. Very interesting. Groups at low velocity started out poor and with each increase in powder visibly shrank with every 1/10 grain increase in powder up to a point. Then the group began to open up with every increase in powder. I don't shoot for group size but I went from about 2 out of 6 on an USPSA target at 40 yards to all A's at 40 yards. Again slow fire freestyle with called misses. FS M&P with stock barrel 147's VV320. The 2 on paper was with 125's by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks horseman, can you give me a starting point and some chronograph data? And to saab, I'll get some Titegroup and throw it into the matrix.

GlockCanMan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I don't have any BBI bullets, I use Bayou bullets, but if you send me 500 or so, I will immediantly start to work up a good load and give you the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Athouse Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I dont know what size BBI youre using and I dont have experience with them. I did notice much better results using 147 gr versus 115. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
