125gr & Clays Load

[ES13Raven]

Posted this in the CZ forum, but didn't get any results.

 

Anyone using Black Bullets International 125gr CN and Clays with an SP01 or Shadow?

 

What OAL are you using and about how much Clays will make 130PF?

3.0 to 3.2 grains with a length of 1.10" runs between 125 and 128 in my XDM 5.25 with most 125gn lead boolits

@57K my results in 9mm with Ramshot comp were less than satisfactory. No amount of precision loading would give me a standard deviation of less than 18-23. This was beneath 124 and 135gr bullets.

 

I'm not the only one who had that problem.

 

I moved on to Prima V, and use up my remaining RS Comp when loading large batches of practice ammo.

There's some clays info in here...

 

 

For coated 130, which isn't quite what you asked for. But it's another data point to help give you an idea where to start.

I use Clays (Australian) 3.2grs with a 130gr LSWC and it goes 1008 FPS.  Win brass and tula SRP primer.  In a 1911 with a Kart barrel.
