Do you have any accuracy data to go with what you tested? Does it shoot a 2" group or 6" group? that is important too.

I did not bench test it but I am able to keep a 1.5" group at 20 yards freestyle with this load. I shot a USPSA match this weekend with it and had no issues. I will look the gun over tonight to see how dirty it is in 300 rounds compared to my older w231 load

All shot out of a Canik TP9SFX. Worth noting the .356 were far more accurate than the .355. The gun seemed pretty dirty after 350 rds. Also really noticeable smoke. The brass had a good smoke streak down the side on about 1/4 of the exterior sidewall.

I’ve had very similar results, I started shooting 3.2 grs and things start to clean up a little better.

Here's some load data, but it seems pretty far off base from what's been posted here before... any ideas on why the delta? I fired 10 shots each string, indoors, 11' away.

 

Shadow 2

124gr Brazos RN coated

3.8gr 

V = 1096

PF = 136

 

124gr Brazos RN coated

3.6gr

V = 1055

PF = 131

 

147gr Brazos RN coated

3.2gr

V = 957

PF = 141

 

115gr JHP

4.2gr

V = 1196

PF = 137

 

JP GMR15 14.5"

124gr Brazos RN coated

3.8gr 

V = 1236

PF = 153

 

124gr Brazos RN coated

3.6gr

V = 1200

PF = 149

 

147gr Brazos RN coated

3.2gr

V = 1027

PF = 151

Did you maybe have them loaded really short?

That would explain higher velocity

I run 3.3 grains of Sport Pistol, behind SNS 147 grain flat points @1.142”, for bigger matches because I want plenty of cushion at the chronograph, but, I know that my velocities weren’t as high as yours. I chronoed both Sig Xfives, and M&P Pro, with Apex, gunsmith fit barrel. All 3 are 5”.

What is your OAL for these rounds? I’m about to order a tester of Brazos bullets and haven’t used plated bullets before so I’m not sure where to start. My usual OAL for Berry’s 124 plated is 1.13-1.14”.

 

also, how do you like those bullets so far?

OAL was 1.125" on all of them. 

 

Bullets are great. Very consistent weight and size. I'm getting some really crazy leading in my comp, but maybe I shouldn't be running them in my PCC. 

 

I'm just getting much higher velocities across the board than others have reported in similar guns.

Are you getting leading In your barrel though, or just your comp? I probably clean my guns less than the average person haha.

You think it could be because of your OAL? I emailed the guys at Brazos and they suggested a longer OAL than bullets without the lube groove in it since the lube groove bullet is slightly longer and has a different shoulder shape

I don't see any leading in my barrels, just the comp on the rifle that I have to hack out with a pick. 

 

I followed load recipes on here including OAL for similar guns and was expecting to hit 130pf with 3.8gr out of my shadow 2. I was pretty surprised that my velocities across the board were not insignificantly higher than almost everyone else.

I got major leading with the .356 Brazos in multiple guns. Tried some .357’s that a buddy had bought and they leaded too.

I was running SNS 147 grain out of both of my Xfives, and didn’t have any leading. I switched to “green” Bullets, because the owner gave me some to try, and they are more accurate in MY Xfives, than the SNS Bullets, and I don’t get any leading with them either.

That said, my PCCs, are a pair of Sig’s, and I will only run jhps or plated Bullets. Same goes for my “open” guns.

I have been shooting plated bullets with sport pistol anyone have experience with exposed lead FMJ with sport pistol?   

I use it with RMR 124 Gr match winners on my shadow 2, X5 and TSO without any problems. I have since moved to using Precision Delta 124 Gr JHP to prevent leading on my MPX’s compensator.

How clean is the gas system on your MPX, using Sport Pistol?

I’ve been running nothing but VVN320 and don’t know if I could even get it apart if I go much past 500 rounds without cleaning

I wouldn’t consider it clean compared to blowback rifles. It’s still dirty due to the design of the gas system. However, it was a little bit cleaner compared to using Win 231. 

 

 I clean it after about 1k rounds or so. Just make sure you clean everything out especially the inside cavity of the gas plug. Keeping the bolt wet (almost dripping wet) helps a lot too.

I've run n320 and sport pistol with plated and jhp with good luck.  The n320 is very clean in both pistol and carbine.  The sport pistol feels great but maybe a but dirty but not enough to bother me. The JHP have me some feed issues with the PCC so I am sticking with plated RN for the PCC and trying some of the match winners in my cZ .
