Berrys (mm 147gr Plated RN loads

[mofosheee]

Hello forum..............hunting and searching, unable to find specifics.  Can someone back me up on this load?

I have a 1000 box of Berry's 147gr copper plated round nose and have been using AA#2

 

The best data I can come up with is; 3.4gr AA#2 @ 1.16" starting load

                                                                ; 3.8gr AA#2 @ 1.16" max load

What say the forum..................many thanks

That is the data I can find going between Berrys site and Accurate. Load up a couple mags of each in 1 grain increments. find the 2 that work best and load up between those 2 in .25 gr increments. Its going to perform differently in every gun, even if its an identical one.

 

I would give you my load but im loading 115 rn's light

1) Always determine your own OAL based on the bullet/barrel combination.

 

2) Accurate's data shows that you can safely load a 147gr bullet to at least 4.0gr (Rem GS load data). You might have to load near max (or possibly above) to make PF. I would do test loads at 3.6gr, 3.8gr and 4.0gr to start.

I use 3.3 grs of Sport Pistol with 147 Berry's. One ragged hole at 7 yds out of a Micro 9.

WTF are you blabbing about? The OP asked for help with AA#2 and you provide a Sport Pistol load. We can all list loads that shoot "one ragged hole at 7 yds" but that wouldn't be very useful, would it?

 

P.S. I'm not religious and I can't shoot for $hit.
