Red Ryder Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Gen 3 has a longer throat than the gen 5I did run some 2.8gr titegroup over the weekend that cycled much better but didn’t get a chance to chrono I received a reply back from blue Bullets stating the 1.090 OAL is common with the 147RN3.0gr of win 231 also barley cycled Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI just would be super careful. Shortening OAL to increase PF is dangerous. Shortening OAL can have an exponential impact on pressure. Titegroup is especially not tolerant of compressed loads. I have seen a few Glocks blow up.

I absolutely agree, I won’t purchase anymore 147s as I think these are playing with fire and will be going back to 124gr after this box My go to has always been 4gr of TG over 124rn @ 1.135, wanted to see if I was missing anything with 147sI’m just trying to find a safe load to burn through this 1,000 box Just to recap2.5 did not cycle in m&p 800fps in G172.8 did cycle m&p and Glock lock back on last round *have not chronedMy next outing will be with 2.7Quickload shows safe with a max of 3gr Lyman shows 2.5-2.8 @ 1.058 with a max velocity of 943I think I’m playing safe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The2aguy Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 57kGood adviseI always load for my shortest chambered gun so I know they’ll all run, oddly enough it’s now the gen 5sMy gen 4 19 did plunk @ 1.130Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 For the record, if you decide to switch bullets? The wonderfully pointy truncated-cone profile from Black Bullets International will load out to 1.150” in an M&P barrel where a fat 135 RN would only let me load to 1.105” I think Blue and Bayou use the same mold: that profile is wonderful in short chambered guns.

The2aguy Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 BB is only an hour away from me so I receive them in a day or so via mailI will check out black bullets again though I think I’ll just go back to 124RN as they always load and shoot great for meThanks for the tip and if anyone else knows some cheaper alternatives I’m all earsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
