jailer252 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I have been playing with powder coating my own 147`s with decent results. Picked up a 160gr mold and was looking for load date. Probably titegroup or universal.. Anyone have any data on these combinations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel45 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Is this for a revo or bottom feeder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubi351 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 2.7gr TG @ 1.150 in a gen5 34 was 131 PF. Gun shot crazy soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel45 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Oal will be the main struggle I would suspect. I would start w 2.5 TG and go up, but a Chrono is going to be needed. I load 165-72g for revolvers, velocity around 740. But my oal is way to long for any auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz2011 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I use 2.7 Clay Dot with SnS 9mm 160gr RN 137PF out of handgun OAL 1.145 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavReconScout Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I know this thread is a little older but anyone have anything to add? I just started trying out some Blue Bullet 160gr, 2.5gr Titegroup, mixed brass, 1.145OAL and got 797 avg with an SD of 10. It seems plenty accurate, and shoots really soft. Just want to make sure I am not overlooking anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I used 3.1 gr of N320 at 1.150 for my revolver and semi autos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FN509Fan Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) I know 3gr of Titegroup or Clays will work with a 160gr Bayou bullet RN, because I load tons of them. __________________ Brad G.

FN509Fan Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Response to my prior post: Interesting. I've been looking at the Bayou 160gn RN. 158gn cast RNFP took 3.4gn of Titegroup to get just over the 120PF for ICORE. Does the difference of using a roll crimp on cast affect the results? These Bayou bullets do not have a canalure for a roll crimp. Crap, this and my last post were for 38 short, not 9mm. "I'm loading .38 short colt, not .38 special. Huge difference."
