yoshidaex Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Are you trying to attain a certain power factor or velocity? You can start with 40 s&w 155 grain bullet data but just a quick warning here, it will be on the low end of the velocity/pf scale. I had a few HBRN 45 acp bullets from Berrys and it took quite a lot of powder to get to the pf i wanted. can't remember if it was 231 or titegroup but it took a bit more powder than a equvilant weight bullet with a flat base would require.

Albertito Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well I used power pistol at 6.5grains bullet 155 HBRN from Berry plated very disappointing. I can shoot with in a 1/2 dollar at 25yards. the berry where all over the place. try factory loads perfect. what went wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Power pistol is the wrong powder for that bullet. It's also the wrong powder for your low recoil application. The bullet is designed to expand in the back and seal in worn or less than perfect barrels. I have found they tend to work well in mass produced stock barrels but not so good in tighter match barrels. You need a much faster powder to get the initial pressure spike. Something like Clays, Bullseye, or Tightgroup. You may also have crimp issues. Copper plated bullets in general suck. Berry's are probably the best out there but it still takes some knowhow and troubleshooting to get them to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 very little to no crimp for these bullets. you need a faster powder than power pistol Titegroup or clays.... I remember someone said something about clays in another post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
