mundoo Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hi, this may have been covered many times before, but what are the notable differences between these two bullets? I've been shooting v1s forever, but my mind started itching on the v2s. Are there advantages either way, and is load data pretty interchangeable? Thanks in advance.

Farmer Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Looks like V2 might need to be seated deeper but with the rounded nose should feed better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costeel Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Just picked up 1k of the v2, I guess I'll know soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I like the shape of the V2 better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Initial testing v1 is more accurate than V2. More testing to come. Adjustment for seating die required backing out the seating stem to maintain same oal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911in9mm Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 For me in the 124 grainers, the V.1 has been slightly more accurate. Shot over ASP and N320. In the 115 grainers they’ve been pretty much even. Both shot over the same powders as above. My handguns don’t mind either design as far as feeding goes. One of my PCC’s an HK pattern clone does decidedly prefer the V.2 as far as feeding goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same distance the v2s are spread out . Double alfa vs alfa charlie. Edited February 13, 2022 by AHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC_DO Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I have loaded and shot 5k of V1 from my SV open gun. 0 feeding issue whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandflea316 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Tried some v2 and even when loaded to 1.160 the bullet would get stuck in the barrel's rifling. Fired fine but when I had to unload and showed clear it separated from case spilling power everywhere. Tried some dummy round all the way down to 1.140 and still had same issues. With the V1 I can load to 1.160 without issues. Gun is a TSO converted to open with a CZC reamed barrel. Also I couldn't get to reliably feed through my Hornady bullet feeder. YMMV, but I'm staying with the V1 JHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 That would be my recommendation. The V2 has several issues. It might be a answer to someones issue. But I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Have shot thousands of v1 with no problem in STI 38 super open gun with no problem. They also work well in my STI Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10ring Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just ordered some V1s. I've been a MG customer for a long time but they've been hard to get. Hopefully the Precision Deltas work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I have been loading V1 for two custom 2011 Open guns with no problems at 1.165-1.170. I just got some V2 to try because I like the smooth nose better for not creating so much turbulence. I have not measured that yet but theoretically the V2 should require slightly less powder. By eye the bullets are very close to the same length but measured the V2 is 0.013 shorter. Since the overall length of the round is the important factor in 2011 loading the V2 will be 0.013 less deep into the case. That appears to be plenty deep. When run through the plunk test both cartridges plunked and were loose and free to spin at 1.165-1.170 OAL. The different oglives appeared to be a non-factor. So I'll look for any accuracy and chronological differences to see how they may be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Dedmon Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 On my last order I got 5k of the 115 V2's to use in my Steel Challenge 38 SC. I loaded some with VVN320. The accuracy was just has good has my 115 JHP Montana Gold. When it come to the 124 V2's I have not tested them because I just can't get away of the classic 124 JHP (V1).

HOGRIDER Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 As I'm transitioning over to 124/125g FMJs, is the consensus still preferring the V1 of the PD JHP vs the V2? As my usual Zero JHPs are not readily available, I want to order a quality replacement for the P320 Max and my S2 Orange. BTW: I'm primarily using N320 and an OAL of 1.080" for the S2; but am open to suggestions for a different (longer) OAL for the P320Max if others have proven results. Thanks and any feedback is truly appreciated! HR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I would stick with the V1. I ended up returning .The v2 due to manufacturing defects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I did a test with the V2’s the other day in my TSO at different OAL’s and 1.140 was most accurate. Tried 1.130, 1.125, 1.120, 1.110 and 1.100. Didn’t notice any difference in accuracy over the v1. Used my ransom rest to test at 25 yards. I benched it at 10 yards and they all went in one hole with the TSO and my M&P Core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHI Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Loose jackets. weigh variations. Like less than 90 gr to slightly over . By now I would hope the issue has been fixed. Haven't opened the replacements. To see. Just don't have time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
