barney88pdc Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have done some searching and I think this combo should make minor without any problems. I am planning on chronoing 10 rounds each starting at 3.0grains in 0.1 grain increments to find a PF of about 132-135. I think 3.5ish is probably where I will end up. What OAL should I load to? It is a stock gun besides sights. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 1.125 OAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouSlide Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 With a Zero 147 gr. JHP, I shoot for an overall length of approx. 1.11 - 1.13 in. FWIW, Atlanta Arms loads a similar load as short at 1.105. Plenty of accuracy in both their and my loads, with perfect feeding. I don't see the need for rounds over 1.17 in. or so, personally. YMMV.

Nik Habicht Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've been loading to 1.100 for a 34 for years with no issues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) I settled on 3.6gr N320 with my MG 147 (CMJ round shoulder, flat nose) at 1.130" Makes well over 130 PF from my G34. EDIT: Oh you wll likely need to use a lighter recoil spring. I use a 13lb spring. With 3.5gr N320 I had occasional ejection problems, 3.4gr gave major ejection problems with 13lb spring.

BR Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I settled on 3.6gr N320 with my MG 147 (CMJ round shoulder, flat nose) at 1.130" Makes well over 130 PF from my G34. I used that exact combo -- same powder, powder charge, bullet, and I think even same OAL (maybe was 1.125) -- at Nationals this year and made 132 pf out of a G17. -br Edited November 11, 2009 by BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
