GreenDragon64 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I haven't been able to find any load data for WSF under BBI/Bayou 135gr round nose projectiles. I have seen load data publishes for 130 and 147 projos. I have used it for the 147 LFP from Falcon and had success in accuracy and soft recoil. Reason for the switch is due to trading for a 9mm Spartan V and had to switch to round nose bullets. I greatly appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You are in luck! I just tested some a few weeks ago. First make sure you make some dummies and drop check them in your gun. The BBI 135 is very bulbous with a really fat head unlike other RN bullets that are more slender. This resulted in a super short 1.085 oal for my XDM. XDM 5.25 BBI 135 RN 1.085 3.9 WSF 132 PF all day long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Dang, maybe I'll end up lucky and can use a longer COAL. Thank you for sharing the data with me. Tomorrow my single stage press is getting a workout. Edited February 20, 2015 by GreenDragon64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sarge, looks like I lucked out and my loads at 1.147" will fit the mags and pass the plunk test. They also feed by hand with no stoppages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon64 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Sarge, I just stumbled across this old thread that has load data if you were needing any other references. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=180353 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This is a very timely thread. I'm working up WSF loads for our 9mm 1911s and Bayou. Have a good load for 124gr TC and 147gr FP, but until I buy better mags the 147gr FP have tendency to misfeed with the stock Springfield mags. Seems less of a problem with the 124gr TC which have a shorted OAL. The 135gr might be a good compromise. As an aside, the 124gr TC work OK with WSF, the 124gr RN much less so. I'm going with the theory put forward by others that the grooves on the RN combined with it's low weight (compared, for example, to the 147gr. reduce the friction, result in both higher velocity, a lot of smoke and greater recoil.

I'm going to bump it up when I shoot a match that does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
