JLeeCZ Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Anyone tried these yet? Have been using their flat point for a while and really like it. Wondering about the ogive compared to other 147s on the market. Their 125s have to be seated deeper to fit my 9s which is one reason I went to the 147, well that and I just like 147s better. http://www.snscasting.com/new-9mm-147-grain-round-nose-coated-1000ct/ Edited December 30, 2015 by JLeeCZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 They are on my list to try. All the lead I shoot comes from S&S. I've never had any problem with the 147gr FPs but I'm up for trying something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 In my limited experience it seems to have a longer ogive than Blue Bullets 147 RN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHicks8h Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I had the chance to try these out a few weeks back so I will leave some feedback of where I am currently at. I found the profile of the bullet to be very forgiving. I shoot CZ 75 SP01 Shadows and they are known for short chambers, so I will start there. I chamber checked this out to 1.1600 with no issues out of the factory barrel on the CZ. I loaded up and shot anywhere from 1.100 - 1.1500 and saw no issues with feeding or ejecting. I did not attempt to get a hard zero, but I was aiming at about a 2" dot at 20yds when I shot through my chronograph. The best accuracy from appeared to be around 1.1300 (fist size group). I have a ransom rest, but it was giving me fits that day so I could not get a grouping without human error. A little back ground I have made some suggestions to Jim and Ryan recently regarding the profile of the 135gr bullet( very big shoulder) and how with a CZ we have had to run OAL down to 1.070 to get them to feed. That being said I really hope that they replace the 135gr bullet in its current profile with something similar to this 147gr RN. I would not load these with a Dillon bullet seat die as it as leaving a round ring and showing some deforming on the nose of the projectile. I went to a Hornady and Lee die and there were no issues with those. (Side note the dillon bullet seat die is fairly shallow so this is kind of a characteristic with them). I shot these side by side with my Hornady 147gr FMJ RN with N320 set to 1.1300 and noticed near equivelent accuracy free hand. I had to do some major remodeling in my basement so I have not been back to the range with my ransom rest recently. Once I get the kinks of the ransom rest I worked out, I plan on giving these a lot harder test. I am impressed with the preliminary results and intend on buying at least another 1,000. I load a considerable amount (15-20k per year) of 9mm so whatever bullet from SNS seems to be the best will be what I end up buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLeeCZ Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Received some today. Great looking bullet. As soon as I convert my Dillon back over to 9mm, I'll load some over my go-to for 147s WSF. From the way they look, expecting good results. Still think their bullets have the coolest color, plus they shoot well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wurm Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I just ordered a sample pack of them as well as the 135 to see if I like them better than the 147 flat points I have been using. I'll update as soon as I get them and load up a few rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJART Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm tempted to try the 165's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhpfan Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I shoot those out of a G34 with KKM using 3g Bullseye loaded to 1.155. Very nice; about 900 FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished up my .45 loading and plan to convert back to 9 this weekend and load'em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLeeCZ Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Loaded these last night. Took out my SP01 barrel to find my seating depth range. Found that I need 1.14" max with the RN profile to reliably fit the short CZ chamber. For 9mm, I load everything to shoot/fit in my CZs and find the end result shoots well in my Sig, HK, and STI.

JLeeCZ Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 FYI-Shot really well from STI Eagle. Very accurate. My son and I both had excellent results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to maybe run these in one of my brands. Just been looking for good load data on the coated RN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canvsbk Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Shot some thru the chrono last night. 3.3 grains of WST @ 1.125 oal gave me a 10 shot string from 900 to 910 FPS. So PF around 133. Not quite as accurate as the 135’s in my Springfield RO but close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Great bullets, great company and the best profile I can run them out to 1.140 damn near if I wanted to. And In a cz that’s a huge benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
