ski_dog Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I am just wondering what you guys are running for loads? I know each pistol will be different, and exonerate you from liability for my own dumb-assedness! I have been shooting mixed brass, 3.2 gr of Titegroup, 147 gr Xtreme Bullets, loaded at 1.146. I am just trying to tighten up the groups. This load is acceptable, but not stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 What kind of groups are you getting at 25 or 50 yards? For better groups, I'd try same headstamps and different bullets - your gun might prefer 124's, or a different brand. Easy to try different OAL's also - bring it down to 1.12" and 1.13" - see if that helps. Load development is time consuming, but can be rewarding.

kneelingatlas Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I don't have experience with Paras, but many CZ shooters find 147s to me lacking in accuracy; Xtremes are also not the most accurate bullets. In 9 minor my most accurate loads use 124gr Montana Gold JHPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishpinoy27 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Lead cast are more accurate than plated but its a lot smokey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting about 4" groups with my 147 Xtreme load. It is definitely more consistent when I use all of the same headstamps. I might have to buy some Montana Gold bullets to see what results I get.
