    It was great except for an FTE because I missed the "shoot these targets here" part of the brief. Otherwise, I don't feel like I won it but upper third I would bet but regardless of the score, I quite enjoyed my first USPSA match in about a year or more. Someone else posted a video on FB, I don't do those, myself.

    Found this public video from the match, I know the guy. He shot better than I, of course

    Those are thanks to JoshS, former PF staff member and an outstanding shooter with about anything.

    From personal experience, Josh runs a damn good match.

    What oal did you use and what was the pf out of curiosity?

    Thanks!

    1.125 and need to chrono it but I'm confident (based upon other's data) that it will make Minor PF. Not bunny fart loads.

    I'm going to stay the hell away from coated and titegroup - i don't give a shit if it is Bayou, Blue Bullets, SNS, etc... TG is just too hot and I hate cleaning things...

    I've had good luck with HP-38 (aka Win231) and 147's. Soft, accurate, non-temp sensitive, meters god enough for USPSA/IPSC shooting. I'm liking my loading of 3.5gr and loaded to 1.125"

    The 147 sized at .357" are here, under the 38/.357 bullets: http://www.snscasting.com/new-38-357...coated-1000ct/
    (it is the same 147 FP as for the 9's, just sized to .357")

    My loading process:
    I have enough bell to keep things from shaving.
    I crimp to .375"-ish ... No issues with flaking/etc... (Lee Factory Crimp and "size" die - I love this thing)

    Seems ok... There's a bit of smoke, but I can live with it. You'll see a little bit of leading at the crown, but not much.

    It is fine to shoot .357" through a glock, mp, etc...

    Good luck, man. Lemme know how it goes - I'll be checking back here.
    Les;

    Thanks for the info above. Got my first 147 grain 9mm sized at .357 in and loaded up 100 of them. The only change is that I used the book stated 1.135 OAL. Shot them yesterday. When I did my part they fell into a fist sized group at 25 yards (unfortuantlly since my hospital visit 2 years ago my consistancy at distance sucks). Best thing about it was when I got home and ran a couple of patches through the barrel it was sqeeky clean, NO LEAD YA!

    I've been shooting basically nothing but coated bullets since late August at this point. No issues to complain about.

    Just a quick question: I've now been shooting these blue bullets coated pills from most of my "working" guns for nearly 6 months now. I noticed that there's a bit of frosting in the bore of my G.19, but only in streaks. Nothing is caked or or built up.

    Anything to worry about? I'm not really seeing any blue shit on the bore at all, FWIW.

    P.S. I love coated bullets and they afford cheaper practice costs. Probably gonna order 10K when I can afford them.
