Danatkins 6 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Trying some 147 (cause I grabbed the wrong box) with 3.2 grains of titegroup. Wondering if it'll have enough gas to run the slide on a g17. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etho 31 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 I don't see why it won't. Won't be a speed demon, but it ought to shoot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KZero 50 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Dunno about that specific charge weight, but there's one that will work for that weight no problem (I assume you have a load manual.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danatkins 6 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Yea but this is the minimum charge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etho 31 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 17s only use a 16lb spring. I don't see any reason why it won't cycle. It isn't that much slower than most 147gr defensive loads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only loaded up less than a mag of these gonna test them today if they work then good if not it's only a few I'll have to break down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etho 31 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Looking at the speeds, they would be some awesome suppressor rounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danatkins 6 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Yeah I'm gonna probably just stock them away for when I get a can Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danatkins 6 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Those 147s are pussy cats. The 115s kicked like a 40 after shooting the 147s. Now I gotta zero my little mini red dot I got on the glock to see how I like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etho 31 Report post Posted August 2, 2017 I bet they were. Probably good training rounds for new shooters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danatkins 6 Report post Posted August 2, 2017 Yup and got the red dot zeroed gonna save up for a new slide for an rmr cut for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etho 31 Report post Posted August 2, 2017 I'm still on the fence about RMRs. I've shot a few. Not sure how I feel about them at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danatkins 6 Report post Posted June 24, 2018 Forgot to post when I shot the last of these we used dad's MAC 11 with can man they were nice and quiet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
