glocklover Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Let me first say I know I'm not suppose to use moly coated bullets or a 147gr bullet. However, I don't care if my comp gets all filled up with lead and theres smoke every where. I just want to know if its possible to use a 147gr moly coated bullet to make major and not blow up my gun. I love my minor load through my open Glock with a 147gr bullet which makes about 150 power factor. I just need to up my powder charge a little to make major. My thought is it takes less power to make major with a coated bullet because they slide easyer. Is there anyone out there that has tried this?

glocklover Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I shoot a 124gr MG with 8.3grs Hs6 for major and a 147gr Black bullet with 4.8gr Longshot for minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Longshot might not get you there, but you should make major just fine with ~6-7gr of HS6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Most don't use 147s for open because it it doesn't have the powder volume that's wanted to really work the comp for open. Basically it shoots more like a limited or production gun than what most want in an open gun. The majority use 115 or 124 for a flatter shooting gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I've shot a lot of major with longshot out of a couple guns. Not glocks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
