Today at the Bench.....

Finally got some crap done this weekend. I loaded some 280 Ackley test loads with 162gr Hornady BTSP and 60.2gr IMR7828, testing 4 different seating depths. 6.5x55 with 125gr Partitions and 44.0gr RL19, testing 4 seating depths. 8x57 with 150gr Hornady SP and 50.0gr IMR4064, 3 different seating depths. And 6.5-284 with 140gr Gold Dots and RL19, 3 different charge weights. I also got some 7x57 brass sized and trimmed and in the tumbler.

Sounds like a productive weekend! I finished up some 9mm 135gr Xtreme RNFP over Titegroup (hopefully subsonic) and then switched the AP over to 300 B/O and loaded some 212gr Midway 2nd's over Midwest Powder MP-350, right now it is all about learning the subsonic game.

Ive recently tried some titegroup in 9mm with 115 124 and 147 played bullets. They shot very well but super sonic. What charge weight are you trying with the 135’s to get sub. Ive got a great subsonic load for my bolt action 300 blackout, using unique and 180gr rainier wedge hp.

I am trying 3.3-3.5 grains of TG with these 135's. It is the first I am trying this bullet. They well may be super yet, but I want to start there and work down. The last trip to the range with the 147's (Xtreme plated RN) I shot 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 grains of TG and they all stayed subsonic. That was out of a 7 3/4" barreled CZ Scorpion.

JTD, I spent a few hours at the range yesterday and wanted to follow up on this. All of the loads with the 135 gr Xtremes and Titegroup remained subsonic in my Scorpion. The 3.5 gr grouped just under an inch (through chrony, from bench) from 25 yds. It was also just barely subsonic. Very happy with this load, I may drop it down to 3.4 to assure subsonic, but this is a certain favorite.
