135gr Bullseye or Titegroup (etr7) loads?

[IrishPsych]

I've been running 147gr for a while now but got into casting and my 135gr mold drops bullets perfectly. I've been using 3.1-3.3 bullseye with 147gr moly coated and looking for loads for coated 135g now. Powders I have are Bullseye and ETR7 (which is titegroup load date). This is out of a glock 34 with reduced recoil spring and an XDM 5.25 with reduced recoil spring. 

 

I'm looking for minor to tad above minor loads for production and plinking.

I run a 135gr hitech coated with 3.7gr of Tightgroup. OAL of 1.12. Chrono at 1040 FPS with this load. Runs well in my CZ SP-01.

personally I wouldnt start on a tightgroup load for coated... better powders out there. Sprt Pistol,, 244 maybe.

I am loading 135 Bluebullets in 9mm with OAL of 1.11 and 3.4 grains bullseye which is 130PF from my gen 5 G34.

I would look to another powder vs Titegroup. I never had any luck with Titegroup in 9mm under any coated bullets. Titegroup has its place but 9mm lead loads has not been it for me!.  I currently use A#2 in my 9mm lead minor loads. Accurate, clean, cool, and shoots soft. For 135 to 147gr lead WSF is another one that works well (Wsf is cleaner with heavier bullets at minor pf vs the lighter weight bullets). As another poster mentioned Sport pistol seems to be well acclaimed as well, I personally havent tried it yet.

3.4gr of Bullseye makes 131/2 from my G17.3s under a coated 133 at 1.14.

 

My experience suggests 3.4 of TG would be nearly identical. I've shot it but never chrono'd this particular combination.

Of the two powders you listed Bullseye .   

Same charge as your 147 loads.

3.45 gr Titegroup under 135 gr Blue @ 1.125" gave me 135 PF at Area 4 last September in a Stock 2 (1002fps).

SNS recommends Sport Pistol behind their bullets.  I finally got a lb to try.  Currently running TG behind 147gr SNS at 1.13” avg velocity of 918@90f. Avg pf of 135 out of an X5.

[Shorty4087]

I run 135gr SNS over 3.4gr of Sport Pistol at 1.13” for 135 PF out of G34

Lots of good powders out there that burn cleaner and cooler than TG.  Suggest OP look into sport pistol, N320 or Prima V, just to name a few.

Just got back from test fire this load. Chrono'd at 1040 FPS average. This was shot out of my SP-01 manual safety. Slow fire, no rest.

Hey OP, what 135gr mold are you using? (Partly interested because I cast too.) The powder charge you need (and even the powder type, depending on bulk) will change depending on the bullet design and how much case capacity it takes up.

I loaded up a lot, probably about 500, with 3.4gr of bullseye at around 1.125. 

 

Ive shot these in an alox lube but haven’t since hi Tek coating.
