160gr Load Data?

[jailer252]

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?

Is this for a revo or bottom feeder?

Bottom feeder.

2.7gr TG @ 1.150 in a gen5 34 was 131 PF. Gun shot crazy soft.

[Squirrel45]

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.

I use 2.7 Clay Dot  with SnS 9mm 160gr RN 137PF out of handgun OAL 1.145 .

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.

I used 3.1 gr of N320 at 1.150 for my revolver and semi autos.

I use 2.6gr of TG for both Bayou and Summit bullets. Gives me 130-131pf.

I must be tired, I had to stare at the above for a while.

Extreme 9mm 165 plated. n320 3.0 oal 1.145.  Chrono 790fps out of a 5inch bar stow.  Vihtavuori web site has load data for this bullet.

I know 3gr of Titegroup or Clays will work with a 160gr Bayou bullet RN, because I load tons of them.

Crap, this and my next post were for 38 short, not 9mm.

"I'm loading .38 short colt, not .38 special. Huge difference. "

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.
