9mm IDPA Load

[Texas1911]

I shot this load yesterday at a match and ran into some cycling issues at a one-handed stage. (Edit: Result of a Mag Issue)

147 Gr. Berry's Plated RN
3.3 Grains of Titegroup
Federal SP Primer
1.135" OAL

I am going to do some accuracy testing on it this week, and probably I'll end up bumping the seater die to 1.150" OAL and moving the load up 0.2 grains.

I need to chrono it also.

I shoot this load with 3.2 grains in a Glock 19 with no failures, but in my 5.25" OSS I have to bump it to 3.4 grains to get it to cycle without fail. It's also WAY more accurate in the 19 as far as I can tell, but I'm going to bench the OSS this weekend and check it out.

My OAL is 1.15 also. In the 19, I can get them to fit at 1.16, but reliability starts to suffer.

It might be a magazine issue. I'll head to the range and test.

 

[Texas1911]

Yep, mag issue.

if you want a soft shooting 147gr load, I hear that Solo 1000 works great.
I've been using it in my 124gr loads, and plan to move up to 147's in the future.
There's some good load info floating around on some of the other forums. I found mine on Brian Enos' forum.

WSF, N320, and Solo 1000 all are pretty soft shooting in 9mm. Scap99 cited a great source for reloading info from competition shooters.

I use this load, but have replaced the recoil spring with a 12lb wolf spring:

147gr 9mm (Precision Delta)
3.2 Titegroup
CCI Primers
OAL = 1.150"

Chrono Avg = 890-910 fps

I prefer the 147gr bullets to 115/124. For me, in my Glock 34, the 147s recoil more inline, and not as snappy.

I couldn't find any 147s ... so I just picked up 2K 124s from Precision. I'm going to try them at 3.6 --> 4.0 and see how that works out.

124 gr JHP Precision Deltas run good with 3.8 gr TG and the 124 FMJ's run good at 4 gr TG. COL for each is 1.140. Both are around 135 PF out of an XDM.
