Malarkey Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I am going to my first match with a Chrono this weekend, and haven't had any opportunity to chrono my reloads. I am looking for someone with a similar load and experience to see if they think this load is going to make the 125 pf. I was looking on Hodgdons site and it looks like 3.6gr through a 4inch barrel gets 1,002 FPS at a OAL of 1.125.......I think it is going to be cutting it close. Let me know what you think Load Data: 125gr Black Bullet International 3.5 grains of TiteGroup Federal Primer 1.10 OAL SP-01 4.6in Barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 You really need to up your load some. That looks like it's on the very low end of the PF spectrum. It looks like from their load data that you should be up around 3.8 - 4.0 of TG. If you don't make the 125, you shoot for no score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarkey Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 3.6 was at 125PF out of a 4inch barrel on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnote Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) you want to load to 132 PF as a general rule of thumb if your SD isnt in the single digits If you can tell the difference between 126 and 132, you are a better man than most...

wurm Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Looks too low to me. My sp-01 with 4.1gr of Titegroup and 124gr Montana Gold JHPs made 130pf, though I would assume those BBI bullets would be a bit faster than my Montana Golds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oteroman Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Same gun same powder/charge/ primer OAL of 1.09 with BBI 135gr. gets 133.6PF I think you need 4.0grs of TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oteroman Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 4.2grs. Your golden and safe. Check POA/POI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmt Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 4.0gr of Titegroup is pretty common with most 124/125gr bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maleman000 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I was at 3.8g on that setup and was to close for comfort on PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarkey Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 i think i have some 135 lead bullets i can load tonight then, looks like the same 3.5gr charge should do fine with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 How did it turn out and what load did you use? Sent from the range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarkey Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 I used a 135gr extreme bullet, 3.5gr of Titegroup, and a OAL of 1.09 and made a power factor of 129. The bullets weigh just a little low of 135, like 134.8 so it was calculated at 134. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Wow, that's close. If you would have run that 125, you probably wouldn't have made PF. Good deal, hope it was a good match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
