MoBigAl Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Just got a deal on a bulk order of 115 gr jacketed bullets. They are Speer Uni Core's. Is anybody using them? I'm looking for some load info using Tightgroup, 231, and whatever else is good for this bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ring Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I've used about 3k Montana Gold 115gr. FMJ over 5.3gr Winchester Super Field. These loads have a little more recoil and muzzle rise than my 124gr Winchester FMJ over 4.1gr N-320. However, they are a very accurate load. I use a 14lb recoil spring when I shoot the 115gr and a 12lb when I shoot 124gr and 147gr bullets. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoBigAl Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thanks for the info. I'm leaning toward working with the TG loads. I've never loaded with this powder but have heard mostly positive comments about it. I know 231 tends to be a little more snappy and always left plenty of grunge to clean up. Hope th TG is a little softer and cleaner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ring Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 In my experience Titegroup was "snappy" not "soft" with 124gr bullets and would be even less soft with 115gr bullets due to the larger powder charge. Titegroup is very soft with 147gr. bullets because a 3.0 to 3.3gr powder charge can be used. Folks I know use medium speed powders such as AA5, Universal, N330, and even Unique for 9mm 115gr bullets. For a wealth of information about loading 9mm for our sport, go to the Reloading section of CZForum. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allgoodhits Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 3.9+/- grains of CLAYS may be worth trying in a 9mm with 115's. My Bianchi load is 4.2 gr CLAYS in .38 Super with 115gr JHP's with a 128PF I have good success with W231, TG and CLAYS in moderate to light 9mm, .38 Super & .38 spl loads as well as moderate to light .45ACP loads. I like CLAYS best. It is clean, a little goes a long way, yet it is bulky so it fills the case on the lighter loads. CLAYS is a fast powder, work up carefully!

MoBigAl Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Chris, Thanks for the info. With the amount of bullets I bought I should be able to sample several different powders and loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
