21 shooter Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 That’s a pretty good group. I have some 124 grain V2’s to load up and some N330. How much N330 did you use to get this group? Going to use it in an X5 Legion and maybe a CZ Shadow. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your going to need to test somewhere around 4.7g - 4.8g in the Legion; especially if it's using the stock barrel which usually likes high velocities to get any reasonable accuracy. And I'm using 1.080" OAL as that was needed in the CZ; and worked fine in the MAX. Never got a chance to test the S2 Orange with N330; but it absolutely loved N320 with either a 124/125 JHP or a 147 JHP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 shooter Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Thanks Hogrider. I’ve used N320 for many years with a 147 grain, mostly Bayou polymer coated, with a few jacketed along the way. Now that N330 is available I wanted to try it as many have said it was great in a 9mm. I like the Legion but the accuracy of the CZ S2 is impressive especially for a stock pistol. I hope they expand the optic ready lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it was one of the most accurate, out of the box pistols I've ever tested! Just started testing/using N330 last year; and so far I'm well satisfied with the results in the MAX. My next big challenge will be developing a load/powder combo for the LO 1911 DS that should be here soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSP737 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 By far, my favorite is the Zero 115 gr conical HP. Problem is, they just had a tremendous price increase. With good brass, and 4.3 Gr of N320 I get very good accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I have enjoyed the DG 124gr with no issues. I have been looking at the Brassmonkeys and heard good things about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaep1911 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Just got a case of 147gr bullets from BMB. I’ve been buying 145/147 gr bullets from ACME. BMB’s coating is as excellent as ACME’s. Grouping is also compatible with ACME’s. I’ll be buying more from BMB because they are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I've been using Everglades Ammo for years. Everglades Ammo Shipping is Free/Fast and I've never had an issue with their bullets. I've used 124gr & 147gr. Before I started shooting PCC, I would get 147gr. Now that I shoot pistol and PCC, I shoot their 124gr Concave Recess base. They also carry Montana Gold. I've tried most of the major manufacturers from Berrys, RMR, Blue Bullets, Montana Gold & Bayou just to name a few. For me, Everglades is top notch!

They shut down just as coated bullets were getting popular, but seem to have recently started the business back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillGarlandJr Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I just got some 124gr RMR Match Winners, and I’m very pleased with them. They shot great out of both my polymer and S Rivals. Pretty good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any problems with coating flaking off and sticking to comp on your PCC? I had this problem with Berry's and xtreme plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they were listed on AmmoSeek, with shipping they are an incredible deal. Shipping is such a shock, well not really when you are buying & shipping lead, but having the shipping included gets them an extra star in my book. One question for those in the know, what is the purpose/advantage/disadvantage of the concave base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question for those in the know, what is the purpose/advantage/disadvantage of the concave base? Not positive on the concave base but my theory is that there is a thinner edge for the bullet to obturate and seal better. Every and I mean EVERY concave base bullet that I’ve used is more accurate or is more easily more accurate than a bevel base or slightly even a flat base. Most of these findings have correlated with 30+ years of casting and shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifleman777 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Recently switched from Missouri Bullet 147gr FP to same bullet from Summit City, excellent quality and accuracy. Took advantage of a 14% off sale with free shipping…….Great Deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
