Shooters World - Clean Shot : LOT# 122 020 220

[Khaot1c]

I picked up a bit of Shooters World Clean Shot.  It is my first time using this particular powder. 

 

I had to increase the charge quite a bit to get my velocities to match what others are reporting.

 

Yes I know things will vary from one firearm to another, but these numbers seemed way off the mark...

 

Using a 9mm  P320 Legion X5 with OEM barrel - 10 shot test groups over the chrono.

 

Hornady FMJ 115gr @ 1.150 with 4.6gr Clean Shot :  

  Average: 1105

  Pf: 127

  SD: 10

 

Blue Bullet 135TC @ 1.125 with 3.8gr Clean Shot

  Average: 991

  Pf: 133

  SD: 12

 

Everglades 147 JHP @ 1.110 with 3.7gr Clean Shot

  Average: 877

  Pf: 128

  SD: 10

 

Does this powder suffer from a wide lot-to-lot variation?

FWIW, my PCC has about 8" of rifling before the comp. It takes me 5 grains to get to 1200 FPS. That is with a 115 gr Berrys bullet. I did try 4.5 and it was in the vicinity of 1100 FPS. Your 115 data seems reasonable. I never tried a heavier bullet.

Could be a little slow, but sounds good enough.  It’s important to understand that CS is reverse temp sensitive, so if it was a hot day or you left your ammo in a hot car, then your velocities will drop.

 

If it helps, I use 135g blue Bullets with 3.6g CS, and get 990fps from a Glock 17 (4.5” barrel) on a 70 degree day.  When the temps get into the 90’s, then velocity drops to around 965fps.
