SISIG Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 What do you guys prefered 147 gr Round Nose or Flat Point Feeding and Accuracy. Right now i have been shooting 135r RN Ibejiheads and would like your opinion with the 147Gr is worth exploring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 These have been AWESOME since I switched from Bayou 135's. Call Donnie and tell him Gump sent you and he'll get you a sample pack. His 180g and 124g without grooves have been a pleasure to load and I think he's coming out with grooveless 147's sometime soon. Loading with 3.0-3.1 grains Titegroup at 1.125 OAL makes minor out my Stock II. http://www.bayoubullets.net/9mm-147-gr-fp-100-ct/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorian97 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I've been running the same profile Gump pointed out. If I could get a 147 in RN locally, Id probably switch to that but as it sits now theres no need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SISIG Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 I guess with the FP the OAL will be key for feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterthefish Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I guess with the FP the OAL will be key for feeding. I've loaded a few thousand of these and they don't seem to be that picky on OAL to feed. I settled on 1.140 across the board for my STI, Glock, and anything else I want to shoot them out of.

praetorian97 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cant run them that long in a CZ though. CZ will take a RN longer than a 147 TN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could get a 147 in RN locally, Id probably switch to that but as it sits now theres no need to. 1.125 is about the longest I'll load my 9mm for my Stock II's. I could load a little longer in my G34 but they wouldn't feed in my Tanfo. That being said I used same load to sight in my new Stock III and had feeding issues the whole time the first 100 or so rounds but hoping that it just needed some breaking in and I had too light a recoil spring in it as the last 5 or so mags ran flawlessly. Also need to polish feed ramp but if have feed issues in III next time I'm gonna shorten OAL just a tad as maybe the Stock II can take them a little longer than the III can.

praetorian97 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 What recoil do have in it? I tried a dry run with a 9lb Wolff and it felt close to stock but the 8lb wolff felt extremely light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure, lol. I know that's bad but I was doing trigger job and just forgot but 95% sure was 8#. I took the recoil spring out my Stock II just to see and it still had feeding issues. Guess the puzzling thing was that after that I just put the spring I had in it back in and then ran about 60 rounds thru it perfectly. That's why part me thinks just needed little break in but I'll know exactly the next time I go as I'll have the right springs and gonna load few 9mm shorter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SISIG Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 One local master shooter loads a 147gr BBI @1.100 and swear by it.. 8lb recoil spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorian97 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Im hoping to try some 150gr RN here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SISIG Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm seeing all kinds of bullet now 125,145,147, 150? 165? So I guess there is no magic bullet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdub Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Does anyone make a cast 147 gr bullet that isn't a bevel base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Now I've also shot 135's with great success as well outta my Stock II from Bayou and they are great too. Donnie will send you a sample pack. I may have some extras laying around too if you wanted to just load up a couple dozen to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
