vnboileau Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Just wondering if anyone has tried these and has a load they like? Or an OAL that works for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 OAL depends 100% on the chamber you’re feeding it into. If you know what you’re about, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillGarlandJr Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I just looked on their website and it looks like their 135gr bullets are sporting a round nose profile, which depending on what you're shooting them through, could mean you'll have to load them fairly short. CZs and Tanfos have notoriously short chambers and work best with short loaded ammo. Especially if the bullet used is a round nose. If you're looking at 135gr bullets you could look at brands that offer a truncated cone profile, which could allow you to load longer even if your pistol has a short chamber.

MemphisMechanic Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 As @BillGarlandJr said, and I said before him, it depends on the gun. A 3rd gen glock or a 9mm 1911 will take these so long they don’t fit into the magazines. 1.150-1.160+ A CZ will need them shoved down to 1.080 or thereabouts. And a truncated cone (TC) profile is the most short-chamber friendly profile if length is a big concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcso12 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I have loaded about 1,000 of these. Just bought 5,000 more. For reference I have loaded them for 4 different Sig 320 pistols (2 X5s, a compact and a full size). All 4 of these barrels would take this bullet at 1.150. For comparison, I had to go down to approx. 1.125 for the Acme 124 RN to pass in these barrels. I worked up to 3.5 of Prima V. I had some of the better groups with this bullet compared to others (average group size was about 2 1/2 -3 1/2 inches at 20 yards with those 4 guns, if I remember without looking it up). My go to load currently is 125/125 TC BBI with 3.9 of Prima V at 1.135. Obviously, YMMV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missed it by that much Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I shoot these out of my Smith and Wesson 38 super revolver so OAL doesn't matter. But they shoot accurate Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodybag0 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I use them in my glock 34. My only complaint is it seems that the coating get knicked up in my bullet feeder die compaired to other coated bullets. I just finished loading 5000. They shoot real good. One more thing, out of all the bullets that I weighed, non came in at 135gr. All were 133gr and 134gr. However they were all consistanly under which is not a big deal as long as you adjust to make PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlgunner1313 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I run these in my shadow 2, 1.125 has ran well for me thus far. On 3.3 to 3.5 prima V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratRider Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Since I had the data on 135 gr. HP's with Prima V and COAL at 1.10 with different barrel lengths - here is my chrono info: Edited January 22, 2018 by StratRider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
