sweetback Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 What O.A.L. do you load to for shooting steel challenge, Using Bayou 105gr. FP? Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Is that a 9mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I literally just loaded up a few of these last night from a sample pack from bayou. I loaded mine from 1.035-1.04 range to shoot out of my XDM 5.25. No idea if this is good or not, but where I'm starting. For reference my typical steel load is a 100gr SWC from Ibejihead, loaded to about the same OAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetback Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Yes 9mm - I'm starting longer 1.070 Wasn't sure if that was to deep. 100gr Berry's HBFP were loaded at 1.050 Let me know how they feed. I Will be trying a few rds. out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I know this is an old thread but if anyone has used these bullets your input would be greatly appreciated. I need an OAL and if anyone has used titegroup with this bullet head???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 PLUNK TEST !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 PLUNK TEST !!! Steve, you beat me by 3 minutes. YES, The Plunk Test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 PLUNK TEST !!! Plunk test is great for making sure you aren't too long. But loading everything as long isn't the only way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) I know this is an old thread but if anyone has used these bullets your input would be greatly appreciated. I need an OAL and if anyone has used titegroup with this bullet head????Per my above post 1.035-1.04 worked fine, in my gun. Yours may or may not like this length. They feed fine and are pretty darned accurate as well.I run a reduced power recoil spring and 3.4gr of titegroup will function just enough but 3.6 is the lowest I would run in a steel challenge match. I have run much higher charges weights, no real increase in accuracy just more noise. Edited December 6, 2015 by dave33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Can someone who is using these measure the oal of just the bullet? And just above the groove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onepocket Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks Dave33. That's a good starting point, they are a funny looking bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onepocket Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I have settled on 1.047 for now with 3.6 of titegroup. This is out of a glock 34 KKM barrel. Very accurate!!! Edited December 18, 2015 by Onepocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onepocket Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I am at 1.07 with 3.5 of titegroup. Plunk test your rounds before using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
