IHAVEGAS Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 On 9/14/2017 at 10:55 AM, Ck867 said: I've been using 147gr with my stock 2 but it's pure preference. +1 125's feel a little snappy to me. I think the longer 147's might also be more consistent with the cheap range brass that I use, but this is pure speculation based upon just one specific gun/shooter/group of test loads. If you have a fussy gun you might find that a longer bullet makes it easier to set to the oal that gives you the most reliable feeding. There are those who say that the heavier bullet will do a better job knocking down steel at a given power factor, I do not know if this has ever been proven. For what it is worth just chrono'd some loads that fly well in my stock 2 yesterday. 147 SNS rn, 3.0 titegroup, 1.12 oal, 900 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touji Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Shooting 124's out of a G34 for CO, and was shooting 124s out of a CZ back when I was shooting production. These days, I've been shooting whatever gain I can get my hands on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casarez Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I shoot 147's when I shoot G34 or CZ S2. To be fair I have stayed with that round all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVC502 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I just stick to 124 for production and SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowb1rd Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 124 coated in my CZ Shadow, love the recoil impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMcGowan Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I like 135's in my Shadows. A little snappier than a 147, a little easier to make minor than 125's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I run 147's over 124's because for me 124's were perceived to had more snap and 147's were more of a push allowing me to return the sights on target faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should try running 147s in my shadow. I bought a box of 500 and haven't bothered to load them up yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I run 145 grain Bayou Bullets. I've tried various weights and prefer the 145/147. My personal opinion is the 145 has a slower, pushing recoil that keeps the sights flatter. The 115 and 124 was a snappier and faster recoil that I felt moved the sights more, but brought them back faster as well. For me it was shoot a bunch of each and decide what I liked, in my case it was the slower but flatter movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pretty much all 135 for minor loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbRex Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I run 147gr in my Tanfo S2 and don't plan on changing a thing. The recoil is flat and I like knowing steel isn't a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipdynamite Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 147 TC in my Shadows. No issues at all. 147 RN can be persnickety out past 1.14 COL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBulletBeaker Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The 135 TC is the jam. And you can load them longer than a RN in those tight CZ barrels.

drivingit Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 147. Look at what the most people shot at past years of Production Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBurgess Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I think the real answer is It doesn't actually matter. I know some bullets feel better at the bench than others, I will admit that some newer shooters do better with the quieter blast from heavier bullets but that is a minority. But measured with a timer under match conditions I would be very surprised to see any difference actually show up for the majority of shooters.

lacivilian Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Shooting a Glock in Carry Optics, I find 147s for me track more vertical than anything lighter, seems like 115s and some 124s make the muzzle wobble and the dot doesn't return back to zero.
