Looking for advice on which bullet and powder would work best in my Sub. I have Xtreme 124gr RN and 147gr HP, both copper plated. I have Titegroup and Unique powders.

Thanks for any input,
Andy

I run both 147 and 124 using TG. I'm using 3.4 gr for the 147s and 4.0 for the 124s. The Sub seems to favor the 124 gr. I'm going to see if increasing the load for the 147s will improve accuracy.

I'd really prefer to keep this in the stickied "Reloads and Chronographs" thread folks. I'll let it be for now, but once it falls off page 1 I'll merge it with that.

FyreGuy, I have some 147's loaded with 3.5-3.6 of TG. I'll use those for break-in then load up some 124's with 4.0. Thanks

3wbdriver, sorry for the misplacement.

147gr Berrys plated, and tite group.

FryeGuy, What's your COAL for the 124 gr loads?

Thanks

Will get to my reload data tomorrow. Reloading set up is on the guest room and it's occupied. I hope you loaded the 147s a little long, as they take up quite a bit of space in the case. I had that problem when first using them with my G34. They ran fine through the Sub2k, and were used for break in.

It depends on what you want really... budget ammo? High accuracy? Stout +Pish loads?

I am into accuracy and tend to pick a powder that takes more per round -- in 9mm, talking 6-7 grains in some of my loads. This reduces the error... if your scale and human errors are say +- .3 grains or so, and you are using a 3 grain powder, that's 10% variation. If you are using a 6 grain powder, its 5% variation (everything else being equal -- better scales can really pull this down). Ive gone the other route too to save money for IDPA/3 gun high round count big target -- twice the rounds for the same powder costs. More powder is dirtier, just due to burning twice as much stuff. I also use really light bullets, often use a 380 in 9mm, which shoot flatter at distance.
