Titegroup Accuracy for 9mm

[Dudedog]

I haven't used Titegroup but I found with UNiversal Clays that I neeeded to drop back my powder charge .2 gr when going from the MBC cones to thier SWC. The SWCs have a larger bearing area, and in my loads ended up being seated a little deeper in the case.

I have found that to fit one of my barrels the OAL on the MBC SWC has to be 1.113 or less with a narrow crimp around .366.

Not sure how the rounds fit that gun with the looser crimp I had prior (?)

Titegroup ... 3.4 gr with a MBC 125 g LSWC; very low SD ... 1.095" and 1.075"

I can't seem to get good accuracy from this combo ... Springfield 1911 in 9mm, with a 2.5 pound trigger job

Low SD number won't always translate to smaller shot groups, especially if you are getting leading.

I haven't heard from anyone using Missouri Bullets 125 LSWC yet. I'm very curious about your OAL and crimp if you are out there.

Below is a comparison picture of two Missouri 9mm 125 gr SWC loads. The round on the left shows 1.090" OAL which is the Max OAL that will work with KKM 40-9 conversion barrel for Glock and the round on the right shows 1.070" OAL which is the Max OAL that will work with Lone Wolf barrel. I am using .378" - .380" taper crimp.

I've found I need a tight taper crimp for the Springfield Armory 1911 9 mm barrel - approx. .366 - the round after seating the bullet is about .378 the way I measure it, before any crimp is applied. My Sig 9mm barrels allow a much looser crimp.

Do I measure correctly by centering the edge of the case in about the middle of the calipers?
