JAF1680 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I just ordered some X-treme 165 grain bullets and I can't find much in the way of loads. Wanted to try Longshot or Autocomp. I have seen a few Titegroup loads but thought with case capacity and bullet weight a slow power would be interesting. If any one has tried some different powders I would be curious to find out how it went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've not used the X-treme 165 grain bullets but had good luck with the Ibejiheads 160 gr bullets over 3.0 grains of VV N320. I use these at a local range on steel targets that does not allow jacketed bullets. Plenty accurate out to 25 yards (furthest I've tried them) and have no problems taking down the steel. Note that I load these long at 1.195" OAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Tompkins Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've used them and like them. More spendy then 147's ore 124's but very nice to shoot. I've used N350 and in general I like to use slower powders to avoid pressure spikes. I'm not good enough to detect any big recoil difference between most powders so I opt for lower pressure. 3.7 gr of N350 gave me ~130PF out of a custom 9mm 1911 and an M&P Pro 9.

oteroman Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 My powder for 165's is WSF.My OAL is 1.140 for a CZ Shadow. I have pushed very hot (Major) with very linear chrono data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slostang Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) I shot the xtreme 165's for 2 years before making the jump to open. 2.8gr of titegroup at 1.140" yielded 130pf, very light recoil and acceptable accuracy.

UFO Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I've used them with my revolver load. 3.0gr of Clays @ 1.15OAL. Very soft shooting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF1680 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions. I worked out a load of 3.9 grains of Longshot producing 815 fps. It has very soft recoil and makes power factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
