Need a production load for my Beretta 96 using Tight Group.

I have Major P.F. loads but why use them when your scored minor anyway,right?
Just dont have the time to crono a bunch.

Load em Hot!

why don't you just use your current loads? they seem to work, where as minor power factor loads may not.

What Titegroup load are you using for major?

mcrog · September 5, 2002, 09:42 PM

A Wyatt,
If i can reduce the recoil and over all abause Major loads put on my gun Im for it. Every one else in production uses light loads Min. 125 P.F think I should too.

Sastrgui,
Crono major loads are at 4.8 Gn T.G 180 JHP at 1.130OAL. 950 FPC. Think 4.2 is a good light load?

McRog,
Thanks for the info............
Have been using 4.0-4.2 of Titegroup w/Berry's 180 RNFP in a
Hipower. Has proven to be very accurate, even head shots on IDPA
targets @ 20 yds. Don't know what it chronos at though?

Try Rainier 135's with 4.5 grns of Titegroup. Really nice in a for Production in a Glock 35. Feels like 9mm.

I use 3.5g of TG with Zero 180JHP's @ 1.135

They just roll right out of my Glock 35 with the factor recoil rod/spring.

Those Beretta'a are sprung pretty light, right? Should work juist fine.

I like 3.5 grains of Titegroup with a 180 grain cast bullet for a reduced load. It should cylce just fine, at about 800 fps. Feels like a 22 after shooting Major.

There was 4.0g Bullseye, CCI500, Rainier 180g TCJ-FP, OAL 1.130".
