kmaultsby Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I am using these bullets RNFP at the moment with my XD9 tactical very nice. But I am thinking about moving up the the 147gr RN. Shooting IDPA SSP\ESP. Good or bad idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magsz Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Only you can answer that question. I personally shoot the 135 grain RNFP's and love them but i love them because they are in between 124's and 147's in feel. I much prefer a little bit more snap than push so splitting the difference netted me the feel i wanted. You're going to have to try both on the timer to see what you really prefer.

Shooting IDPA SSP\ESP. Good or bad idea? If your load works now and is accurate (135gn) why change? IMO and testing, you have nothing to gain but a thinner wallet.

fireman489 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I use Xtreme 147's but recently ordered 500 of the 135's as well as 500 of the 165's for testing... no idea if I will like em or not but figured its worth looking into .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 In my short testing of the 135gr xtreme, it is more accurate in my gun vs the 147gr. But ive used coated bullets since and its more accurate than the two. So yeah, only you can answer the accuracy thing. I have 2 guns of identical set up and one is more accurate than the other. To think its sequential serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I tried some 135 BBI's thinking they would be a nice compromise. I guess I am just a 124 kind of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
