ZackJones Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Made a few chronograph runs yesterday so I thought I'd share the results: TG 3.1g with Bayou 147 @ 1.135 (10 round string) AVG Velocity - 916 Avg Power Factor - 134 Std Dev - 8.1 ES - 28 TG 3.4g with Bayou 135 @ 1.135 (10 round string) AVG Velocity - 987 Avg Power Factor - 133 Std Dev - 8 ES - 26 I didn't shoot any groups with the loads but used both in practice and was hitting A's on various distance targets so that's accurate enough for my needs. I do think I like the 147g better then the 135 so I'll just plan on shooting 147's for a while. Thanks to dave33 for the 135 load and Sandbagger123 for selling me 200 135's to test with.

You are welcome. Your results and mine are almost identical. Just curious, what about the 147's do you like better than the 135's? I cant tell much difference in accuracy between the two and the feel is really close as well, Im happy shooting either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandbagger123 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) well at least you did not buy a whole case like i did to find this out. LOL. i have found that 147's were more accurate overall than the 135's in all the 9mm i have with many load combos. I am just gonna load up the rest i have a for practice and stay with 147's for matches. Edited August 25, 2014 by Sandbagger123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the velocity was pretty close either one would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundlzrd Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thank you for these results! I have been reading what powder to use behind my 147's I picked up a while back. I hope to fit in the time to load some of these up before the next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech32 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks Zach. I'm just starting reloading. This should help me get started a lot easier. I also shoot an M&P pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 3.2 titegroup, 147 extreme round nose gets me a pretty consistent 900fps out of my CZ's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Rock on. I've been using 3.2 grains of Titegroup + the Xtreme 147s for a while, and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Next time I go to the range to do chronograph runs I'm going to bring my glock 19 and see how the loads compare between it and my M&P's. Thanks, everyone, for sharing your load data. Now if everyone would share powder we'd all be happier . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
