115gr -- 124gr Titegroup Loads

[gerritm]

I have been shooting 3.1gr Titegroup with 147gr RN  Blue Bullets & SNS Casting poly coated @ 1.12 OAL and pretty happy with them.  Very accurate and the SNS are great with a hard coating and no smurf fingers when loading.

I have a bunch of 115gr plated RN Extreme & 124gr JHP PD's. Anyone got a good soft load for these with Titegroup?

 

Thanks, gerritm

Hello: Try your same 3.1 grains of Tite Group. They will be pretty close to minor for the 115's. Thanks, Eric

I am using 3.9 of TG over 124 JHP at ~1.140. Made 133 PF at Area 3.

3.7 TG with 125 blue bullet at 1.120 is 130 pf in a Glock 17 with range brass

I got 136 pf w/ 3.3 grains of Titegroup at ~1.1.  I bet 3.1 will be just right.

Loaded up some 115/3.1 and will test today. Also some 124/3.6. Will start there, thanks.

I'm getting 142PF with 3.9TG, 1.145, and 124 Montana Gold JHP's.

 

Also,  136PF with 3.2TG, 1.145, and 147 Berry round nose plated.

 

I sometimes use the 142 PF ammo when dealing with an array of steel.......as an open shooter I've become used to hitting steel with something harder than production PF.

 

Couple times I've returned to re-hit falling steel when it was sloooowly falling with PCC.

Interesting variation of data here. Likely different barrel lengths. I push 115 RN plated with 3.8 of titegroup for a 129 pf out of a JP GMR 15.

Barrel length is a huge factor in this question.

 

Taccom ULW upper (7" barrel).  

3.6 behind SNS 124 = ~1080 FPS.

 

My PSA 16" barrel

3.1 behind SNS 147 = ~1080 FPS

14.5”  mbx barrel 1.6” 3 chamber mbx comp 1.150 throat 

 

147gr rn plated+3.2 titegroup=1015 fps  149.15pf

 

124gr fmj+ 3.7gr titegroup=1130 fps 140.12 pf 

 

both are 1.140 oal 

 

I prefer the 124 grain with yellow sprinco and green mbx , 1/2 rubber buffer in tube

 

the 147 with jp 308 spring and blue mbx spring ,1/2 rubber buffer in tube is sluggish feeling
