stephenmcrna Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Just wanted to share I tried out brass monkey bullets 130 grain. I went with them because I knew they would ship right away Gun. Shadow 2 sport pistol 4.1 10 shot average was 1040 fps about 135 pf The longest I could load was 1.108. I was a able to shoot a fist sized 10 shot group at 25 yds. But I ran out of ammo to make a final decision. The dot returned way faster than my 145 grain. I’m going to shoot the rest of the 1000 before I make a final decision. I tested at 3.8, 3.9, 4, and 4.1 gr. I got a squib at 3.8. 4-4.1 seemed to be the best. Just need to test hone in accuracy a little bit more. I really liked the 4.1 with a 12 lb recoil spring.

Out of Ammo Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I've shot Brass Monkey bullets before and iked them. I shot the 124RN. I may have to give the 130 a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcrunner Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I got a set of the RN 125 grain, before they were correctly renamed as 127 gr, and I also had to load quite short in my Shadow, the bullet profile is not friendly to short leade barrels like the Shadow, stock. Most recently I picked up the 150gr bullets and I noticed that the coating came off in small spots while they were in transit, not all of them, but enough that I noticed a green powder on my fingers after I loaded a hundred rounds. When I initially got the 125gr, they were the first of the new batch of color and they were losing their coating quite easily. confirmed to be a bad batch by BMB. They shoot well, but to be honest, I don't like that the coating is still not exactly there. I may still stick to SNS as the coating is very sturdy on those.

Any guidance would be great. 3.8 - 4.0gr of N320 Should put you in the ball park, you might want to add what gun you are shooting these out of.

Scotty_JR Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Placed an order for 700 to try. The same day, I got a tracking number. No complaints so far! Looking forward to try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great point. 3.8g of Titegroup/Clean Shot behind a 124g will get me 130ish PF out of most of my Production/Carry optic guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
