fireman489 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I saw Xtreme was offering 165's in 9mm .... anybody reloading these ?? I bought 500 to test, but haven't found any data when I did a search. I use Titegroup w CCI primers out of a Gen 4 Glock 34 Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have some too, but I plan to use slower powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind bat Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 A few friends have been using Ibeji 160gr bullets with N320 in CZ's and G34s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahlsan Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 looking to make subsonic rounds, these would sure fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach1soldier Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Guy I met was using 165's, mixed brass, 2.6 grains titegroup, and 1.140 length. I shot a few through my 1911 and they were extremely soft shooting. They make great rounds for practice, minor classes or steel challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have loaded 160s with ~3.2 grains of Solo 1000. The slide was really slow...probably too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I load 2.8 gr of Solo 1000 with a 160 lead bullet. Runs between 800 and 815 fps depending on which gun. And no sports fans you are not waiting on the slide. I had a friend on a timer several years ago shooting a similar load when his gun went full auto. You cannot equal the splits I recorded by pulling the trigger. One may not like the way a gun "feels" with heavy bullets, but you are not waiting on the slide.

One may not like the way a gun "feels" with heavy bullets, but you are not waiting on the slide. I'll agree with that sentiment, I think the sluggishness people describe when switching from lighter bullets can be attributed to not changing the spring setup on their gun when they switch bullet weights. So they may actually be waiting for the sights to come back down to the target rather than waiting for the slide to close.

accu9 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I just received 250, these things are enormous! Going to start at 2.6gr Titegroup and 2.7gr Bullseye loaded at 1.14. Hopefully get out to the range this weekend to chrono, I will post my results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 this weekend to chrono, I will post my results. Be interested in 25 yard accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I just received 250, these things are enormous! .A shooting buddy is using them. They look like they are seated all the way to the primer! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdave24 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Isn't there a problem if bullets are too far into the casing? Any chance if bulging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 No worries about bulging, but can create pressure issues by decreasing case volume with all that bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 No worries about bulging, but can create pressure issues by decreasing case volume with all that bullet. +1 It takes VERY LITTLE powder to make PF with these heavy bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Would longshot be a good powder for these? I also bought 250 to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelsonAK Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Went through 250 of these with 2.6 gr of titegroup. very soft shooting - as accurate for me as anything out of my M&P 5" with a Storm Lake 40-9 barrel. Will get a few more when I place my next order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Tompkins Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Would longshot be a good powder for these? I also bought 250 to try out. I've used VV350 - a very slow powder with good results. You may have work out side published data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Would longshot be a good powder for these? I also bought 250 to try out. Long shot is not very tolerant of compression and doesn't burn very clean at the low end, so it wouldn't be my choice. If you work up a load with it and find you get lower velocity as the charge goes up you're already over the hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlcafan79 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I've been loading some with Solo 1000 for a suppressed 226. They are quieter and shoot softer than titegroup propelled 147's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting. Do you find Solo to be quieter than TG in general through a can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlcafan79 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It's hard to tell as the shooter. I just hear action noise for the most part. Other people tell me they are quieter. Titegroup is known to be abrasive so I'm trying to get away from it. The stainless baffles don't seem to mind, but the 7075 endcap is a different story.

accu9 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Finally got around to chrono'ing the big boys, I have too many damn projects. Anyways I really, really like the feel of these bullets-SOFT!!! Shot from a CZC Accushadow: 165gr Xtreme 2.6 grains Titegroup 1.155 OAL Winchester SPP .378" crimp 764 fps avg, 26 ES, Std dev 8- 126 PF 165gr Xtreme 2.8 grains Titegroup 1.155 OAL Winchester SPP .378" crimp 788 fps Average, ES 27, Std dev 10- 130 PF. I can't comment on 25 yard accuracy (Hi-Power Jack), but at 15 yards these are one hole shooters. They are more accurate than my go to load of 3.2 grains of TG with a coated 147 grain bullet. Did I mention that the profile is incredibly forgiving even in a CZ chamber? Sorry for the rant, I think I'm in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Not exactly the same thing but I just shot through a 100 count sample pack of 160gr Ibejihead coated lead RN. For powder I tried Accurate #2, solo 1000, titegroup and bullseye. Got the best accuracy results from the bullseye load with the titegroup a close second. The jury is still out whether I like these enough to switch but they did interest me enough to get a 250 round sample pack from extreme to dive into them a little deeper. Best result was 2.7gr Bullseye, loaded to 1.169, ave 829 FPS-132 PF, 18.5 SD Very close second was 2.8 Titegroup, same OAL, ave 833 FPS-133 PF, 10.5 SD Looking forward to messing around with the Extremes next.
