fireman1776 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I’ve read some of the older threads but wondered what people are using these days. I’ve had really good results out of my legion and 125 grn blue bullets with 3.7 grns of titegroup. However, I recently got a lot of coated 147s. Anyone willing to share load data and PF?

You likely won’t be happy with the accuracy from a 147gr coated bullet if you are shooting an X5 legion. A standard X5 will be ok though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to bump up the velocity to get acceptable groups with the 147gr Bullets. I think I was at 3.7/3.8 gr of Sport Pistol to get up to 135 PF. I found powder puff loads of 127-130 PF with 147 gr coated grouped like crap through my Legions. I do do not use Titegroup but know it’s typically a few gr lower than Sport Pistol from what my research found on common PF off a given bullet weight.

Bakerjd Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I used 3.3gn pf titegroup and a 135gn sns coated bullet for a long time. Chrono was around 130PF at multiple major matches from MI to KN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick303 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) I have seen mixed results in regards to acceptable groups with 147 gr from various people. Some say their Legions shoot acceptable results using 147 gr., but from my observations through forums and discussion it has been few and far between that seem to the use them successfully. Many say the original X5 barrels seem to shoot acceptable groups using 147 gr.. I have 2 original X5 barrels and they do not shoot any better groups with the 147 gr than the Legion barrels. The only way way to know is load some up and do some load testing. If you find they are not grouping well bump up the velocity/PF. You will most likely find a PF they group well at.

I’ve used both and there was no appreciable difference. In the end when I was running a legion upper I switched to 135gr, which was better but not great.

That’s where the difference is I have an X5 that I slapped a TXG Module on meaning I am using an X5 slide and barrel. It shoots the same groups. Until I upped the velocity then the groups became acceptable, in that gun and my 2 P320 X5 Legions. The accuracy of my other X5 (with original poly X5 grip module) is no more accurate than any of my other 5” X5s. My most accurate P320s are my compact (for carry) and a comped X5 that I built that uses a compact slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garryy Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Advise me a hunting shop with low prices. I just don't have much money right now, but I want to buy some kind of gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
