Sam-ETS Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Im sort of new to IDPA shooting. Joined back in 2013 and shot maybe 3-5 matches and work scheduling didn’t allow me to make matches but now just started back up last month. I’m shooting a Glock 17 Gen 5 in carry optics and have someone willing to reload for me. I have acquired a pack of 1000 IbejiHeads 147gr. flat point coated bullets to load and basically have all the 9mm once fired brass I can get from my police academy. Has anyone loaded these specific bullets with Titegroup? If so, what is your load out and COL for 125-130 PF. From some research I was considering something like below and test from there for an acceptable PF and see how they shoot: 3.2 - 3.4gr Titegroup 1.130 - 1.135 COL, .377 crimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJB Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 What you're suggesting should be fine provided they plunk. The Gen 5 has a shorter leade than the Gen 4 or 3. Although I don't run a Glock, I've loaded those 147 gr Ibejiheads sized 0.356" at 1.125"-1.130" with 3.1 gr Titegroup and it gives me 131-132 PF thru a 4.5" barrel and about a 3" x 3" 10-shot group at 25 yds. This was in 75-80 degree weather so if it's colder you'll lose some velocity with Titegroup. You can order Ibejiheads in different sizes. I crimp around 0.379" and call it good for all sizes.

4n2t0 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) - 3.1gr of Titegroup should make PF. - No one can provide you with an OAL, you must always determine your own based on the bullet/barrel/magazine combo. - How to determine OAL: https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=34225.msg189131#msg189131 (If your bullet doesn't easily collapse just use the seating die to shorten the OAL incrementally until it plunks) - Plunk test: Edited October 16, 2019 by 4n2t0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 1000 IbejiHeads 147gr. flat point coated bullets When your friend loads some for you, I'd ask him/her to load you up just 20 or 40 of them and test them out in your gun. Check mostly for feeding, but also for velocity and accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
