Tite-Group Powder

geocole · April 25, 2007, 09:27 PM

Just bought some tite-group powder.
I loaded some and they shot real good in my Glock22 and XD 40 SC. I had been using Bullseye, but this is much cleaner.
I got a good group at 25 yards using a rest with Glock 22.

180gr berry's RS (round shoulder)
4.2 tite-group
FC brass
CCI primers

XD .45 Tactical
XD 40 S&W Sub Compact
XD 9mm Sub Compact
Glock 17 9mm
Glock 22 40 S&W
Stoeger Cougar 8000 9mm

If that brass is FC stamped STOP USING IT!!!!!! You will have a dramatic case failure with it, it is just a matter of time. If it is Federal stamped it is great brass.

That is a FANTASTIC group for a plated bullet in a Glock. My hat is off to you, that is a darn mile better than I have ever been able to get them to shoot in my Glocks.

What is wrong with the FC Brass and where will it fail at.
I loaded 100 and shot them and cleaned them, so far they look good.

Case head separations .....
Federal produced a bad batch of .40 brass.. The brass had the FC head stamp.
This brass contributed to some of the KABOOM stories floating around..

Thank You for the information on the FC Brass

I Emailed Federal about the brass and they are sending me 500. But I had 1200 but 500 will work. This was his reply.

Greetings
It was not a bad batch but rather the early 40 S & W cases were later strengthened. No one knew about this caliber and the support issue in some guns. Newer cases do not have this issue.

Now I have 11 more pounds of brass to sell at the junk yard.
