dave33 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What powders do you have available to load with? Bianchi cup only has a 120PF floor so you can run your loads a bit slower than the typical gun game loads, but unlike the other games Bianchi requires better accuracy. You will need to check a few different loadings to find what works best in your specific gun. My XDM 5.25 gives pretty good accuracy with 147 coated lead bullets with 3.1gr titegroup, 3.3gr N320, 2.9gr Clays, 3.4gr WST, 3.0gr e3, 3.8gr SR7625, or 3.5gr Zip. However none of these loads are as good as 124gr Precision Delta or 125gr Hornady HAP loads I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckpetree Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Have clays right now. Have been looking at n320, but if they are not making it anymore not sure I want to go down that road. It also seems a bit pricey comparably. Thought of trying titegroup but have read coated bullets it burns too hot for them. So guess clays is my powder.

dave33 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Have been looking at n320, but if they are not making it anymore not sure I want to go down that road. Have not heard anything about any of the VV powders being discontinued. n320 is one of the best, definitely would be my choice of the three you mention, though titegroup is very good too, just a little dirtier maybe. It works fine with coated lead and I would probably choose it over clays also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The V V N330 is also a very good 9mm powder that a lot of Bianchi shooters use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light700 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have shot the bayou bullets with titegroup with no problems. I have heard people say they smoke a lot but I have not noticed very much smoking at all. I guess as long as you don't shoot indoors you would be good.

Batmo Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 With the two powders I have on hand I'm completely satisfied with the 147 grain Missouri Bullet in my XDM 5.25. Either 3.8 grains of Powder Pistol or 2.9 grains of Bulls Eye will shoot 5 shots into 3/4 inch at 15 yards. I know the pistol and bullet are capable of shooting better....but the shooter is the one in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
