emjei Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Whats your preferred Power Factor for a Stock 2 ??? Im currently at 126PF but she runs sluggish Lets see opinions: Bullet Weights Powder used Recoil Spring # Etc etc Mj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny32182 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Normally I shoot 147s, but have shot some 124s as well. 135PF, 10lb+ recoil spring. I'm not saying YOUR gun won't run with less, but I've had issues before that were corrected by increasing to the specs above, so I'm convinced that is what the gun likes best.

MilkMyDuds Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 126PF is too risky to bring to major matches. I run 130+PF, e.g. 147gr @ 880+ fps out of barrel. Sluggish feeling has more to do with lube and springs than to the small differences in PFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I didn't like the 147s in my stock 2. I like 135gn RN going just under 1000fps for about 130-132pf. Still very manageable to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm running 125gr rn blue bullets at 1.083 oal with 3.3gr of N310 at 131pf and a 9# recoil spring. Why such a short oal? My stock II will do 125gr blue bullets @ 1.150 oal and not hit the groves in the barrel. Is there any reason to load shorter than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stock II will do 125gr blue bullets @ 1.150 oal and not hit the groves in the barrel. Is there any reason to load shorter than that? I run 147gr BBI bullets at 1.085 in mine over 3.2 of Win231.... My bullet profile is different than your 125s but from what I have gathered the newer batches of Stock II's seem to not be reamed out as long. Mine will only run about 1.09 before hitting the landings with my 147's.. If you have an older stock II I see guys posting that are running the lengths you have mentioned 1.15. I have thought about having mine reamed but it seems to run fine like it is so I doubt I mess with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malarkey Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 My gun has always seemed a little high on the chrono compared to what other people are getting with comparable loads. When I was testing the loads with my S2 I was at ~130pf with 3.0gr, ~136pf with 3.1gr and ~142pf with 3.2gr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
