Think I sat my 147's too deep

[Par5In2]

147 xtremes, 3.3 TG, 1.102-1.106 oal

Am I going to die when I pull the trigger? Should I pull theses and get them closer to 1.115?

Assuming your bullets are about .65" in length, you will raise the pressure about 1,500 psi with that load. Even if it were a top end load, it would put you from P to +P. In reality, it looks like you are actually going from 31 to 32.5k psi so you are still in the safe zone for standard 9mm.

Have you shot these bullets with this charge before? If so, you probably won't feel the difference because the increase in velocity probably won't even register on a chronograph (calculated to be only about 7 fps). In reality 1/100" isn't going to make a real practical difference.

If it were me, I'd shoot 'em. Just be more careful of your measurements in the future.

Have not shot this load before. The bullets are coming in at the Devil, aka .666. Such a careless mistake I made. At least I checked them before throwing them in the range bag. I'll fire a few off, and see if my gun stays in one piece.

I've loaded a million 147's behind 3.2gr of titegroup @1.10 without a problem, it's actually a soft load. At 3.5gr it starts to get fairly stout. Hodgdons load data shows a maximum of 3.6 @1.10. I don't think you'll die

My man, 50 grand.

Thanks, brotha!!

in contrast, lol -

Quickload is saying there about 44k psi so about 10k psi over standard rounds.

WHOAH! Yeah, those are seated .396 into the case and .396 is WAY too deep. Those definitely need to be pulled.

The REAL question, however, is how you arrived at that OAL? Please explain so that we can [s]yell[/s] calmly discuss where you went wrong and how to proceed. Seriously, how did you arrive at that OAL?

Okay;

My SP01 plunks at 1.20" - .015 gives me 1.185"

I'm going to load 3.3gn Titegroup at 1.160" OAL and see where it gets me.
