147 Precision Moly Load using solo 1000 or 320

[Sarge]

I am just trying to save a little time with the Ohio state shoot looming on the horizon. I run an M&P PRO and am looking for a few loads to start with using 147 precision moly's and solo 1000 or 320.

Hello:

Here is my data using a 147gr Bear Creek Moly Coated 9mm bullet (with lube groove) in my CZ-85-C with 4.7" barrel.

FC cases, Win SP primers, 1.095 OAL

3.1gr N320

Two ten shot strings

High 895 893

Low 868 869

Av. 879.4 878.9

ES 28.15 23.30

SD 10.81 8.71

Comments: A very soft load that was reasonably accurate. No smoke but there was visible dark residue in the barrel (1:9in twist rate) between the lands after shooting 40 rounds of Bear Creek. I haven't cleaned the gun yet and can't tell if the residue is the moly coating, lead, powder, or what.

I'd suggest raising the load by .2gr if the Precisions don't have a lube groove and if the SW's barrel is shorter.

Good Luck with your load.

Sandman,

I'm shooting 147 Montana Gold Flatpoints out of my Pro, over Solo 1000. 3.6gr of Solo, at 1.125" OAL, Fed SP Match Primers.

Just chronoed 5 of them last night.

909 FPS Average = 133 PF

85 degrees, and about 114% humidity...!

I got some Bear Creek Molys this week too. Testing those, but they're longer...

Hey Jeff, what kind of accuracy are you getting from this load? Do you test to 25 yards or?

Thanks.
