kreativecid Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Just back from testing and fine tuning. 5" 1911 barrel. Always use WST. Current 9mm is 125 grain moly Bear Creek TC or RN. OAL was 1.120 up to 1.126. Charge was 4.1 to 4.4; it's about 45d F. the past few days air temp. Accuracy was best at 4.3. Feeding and ejection perfect. The above ranks next to 4.5 WST 9mm FMJ Montana Gold at 1.150 as my favorite pet load with good accuracy and quick front sight return, but that OAL worked in a M&P 5". My unramped STI Spartan prefers shorter OAL. Lee factory carbide die crimper in Station 4 out of a 550b, mixed headstamps and Federal primers always.

My unramped STI Spartan prefers shorter OAL. That 4.5gr WST (is it 124gr) MG load runs about the same FPS as 4.3gr Universal, which is my usual 9mm load. It's good for about 1070fps from a G17.

Aircooled6racer Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hello: I tried my pet load the other day with 3 different pistols. The pistols were a Glock 34, S&W M&P Pro and a XD-9 Tactical. We tried some other loads in the pistols as well. It was funny that the same load felt the best in all 3 pistols. It also felt great in my CZ Shadow and Glock 17 when I had them. It is 4.2 grains of Tite Group, 121 Montana Golds, Winchester small pistol primers and an OAL of 1.140". If you get a chance to try it in your pistol let us now how it works for you? We tried some 115-147 loads and the 121's worked and felt the best. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizer67 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 115gr JRN Precision Delta 5.9gr Silhouette 1.148 OAL Work up at your own risk. It's a tack driver when I do my part. Based on D. Manley's info, so thanks and credit to him. Eight rounds, 15yrds: I tried this load with a 115 FMJ Zero, and it is, indeed a tack driver. A bit snappy though.

But "they shoot good". I'm sure a big part of it is due to using mixed brass. I don't know what you mean by "they shoot good", but, with that much variation, I'd be surprised to see it group much less than 4" at 25 yards.

GarrettC Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) I went to the range today to chronograph my loads and to do some IDPA practice. The groups were fairly tight considering I was practicing 2-2-2 drills and weak hand/strong hand. My practice distant was 10 yards (30 feet) and several of the groupings were touching and in or near the center. I used 2 different guns with basically the same results. Weather - Sunny and clear, temperature in the low 50's and approx. 45-50 percent humidity. Mixed cases Federal small pistol primer 147 grain Montana Gold 3.4 grains of TG 1.145 OAL .375 crimp Chronograph results at 10 feet: Gun 1 - Springfield XDm 4.5 Average velosity - 899.3fps Extreme spread - 12.4fps Standard deviation - 6.3 High- 904.6fps Low - 892.2fps 132 pf (132,197.1 actual) Gun 2 - Beretta Brigadier Elite II Average velocity - 889.3fps Extreme spread - 14.3fps Standard deviation - 8.1 High - 898.7fps Low - 884.4fps 130pf (130,727.1) Edited March 28, 2012 by GarrettC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
