ttolliver Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 My pet load for these little gems is 3.4gr TG under a MG 147s at 1.120". My local shop hasn't had MG for a while, so I snagged some Hornady 147s instead. The Hornady's vary a fair bit in profile from the MGs and it seems to me I've heard that MGs tend to need a bit more powder to make velocity. Has anyone that's shot both of these found they had to vary their loads or COALs from one to maintain accuracy with the other? I'm still going to chrono a set of the Hornady based loads. I'm just curious if I can take the easy way out and take a set loaded to my standard formula or if I should expect to approach it like a new load from scratch. Thanks!

Hi-Power Jack Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I would guess you probably have to adjust the OAL, but everything else should be pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdinga Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) You will need to adjust your OAL to fit your gun. I have always found the Hornady bullets to be accurate and easy to load for. If I had unlimited funds I would be shooting the 147 XTP by the truck load. Edited June 13, 2014 by rdinga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
