Good Morning Y’all and Happy New Year!
I was gifted a nice chrono for Christmas this year, a ProChronoDLX and got out to the range yesterday to test my reloads for the first time. If you are so inclined, I’d love get some feedback about the results.
I did three tests of 10 rounds each through my Glock 19. Tests were done about one minute apart. Temperature was 48F.
Test 1 - 9mm 115 grain Xtreme Copper Plated
Hodgon CFE Pistol 5.4 gr load
COL: 1.100
Using Hodgson 115 gr LRN reload data (from hogdon website)
Range: 4.9 (1124 fps) - 5.4 (1209 fps)
10 Shot Average: 1042 with a 111 fps extreme spread.
Average Power Factor: 119 (high/low - 128 / 115)
Shots (fps):
1057, 1022, 1004, 1026, 1012, 1066, 1057, 1038, 1032, 1115
I’m a little low with the average fps being 1042. I’m wondering if that may be due to the load data I’m using, which is for lead round nose and I’m using copper plated round nose? Note: Xtreme bullets are rated to 1200 fps. So I don’t want to exceed that.
Test 2 - 9mm 124 grain Xtreme Copper Plated
Hogdon CFE Pistol 5.4 gr load
COL: 1.150
Using Lee 124 gr copper plated data from Lee reloading book that came with my press.
Range: 4.9 (1006 fps) - 5.5 (1120 fps)
10 Shot Average: 1025 with 76 fps extreme spread.
Average Power Factor: 127 (high/low - 131 / 122)
Shots (fps):
1058, 1042, 1063, 1025, 1021, 1034, 1005, 1035, 988, 987
This set was more in line with the range I was expecting.
Test 3 - 9mm 147 grain Xtreme Copper Plated
Hogdon CFE Pistol 4.4 gr load
COL: 1.130
Using Speer 147 gr TMJ FN data from Speer website.
Range: 4.1 (897 fps) - 4.6 (980)
10 Shot Average: 932 with 75 fps extreme spread.
Average Power Factor: 137 (high/low - 141 / 130)
Shots (fps):
926, 931, 898, 922, 944, 955, 964, 948, 948, 889
This set was also more in line with the range I was expecting.
Thanks for your feedback!
