Load data for new 135gr Nuke using Titegroup?

[David Trabue]

Anybody loading these new puppies yet? If so, using Titegroup? Overall length?

Got 1000 headed my way and hoping these might scratch the \”Sweet Spot\” itch that I\’ve been digging into various 135gr bullets for.

I bought a GForce blade 6 PCC and am trying the 135gr Nukes and TiteGroup for subsonic loads. The 6 inch barrel and suppressor seems to run fast so far. My results probably will be different in regular pistol with shorter barrels. My OAL is on the short side after I shot 200rds in break in process it measures 1.070. So to get myself at 1050 fps i ended up at 3.5gr TG using a rem primer…Its accurate and quiet with the Hux FLOW 9Ti. Runs perfectly so far with glock mags. Fun inexpensive rig…

I will next try them in my other 9mm handguns and see how they are and will try to update accordingly.

After several runs using different charges (all running very reliably) trying to see what over 1000FPS in a 3.2\” Max-9 barrel would require and also shooting through my Glock 34:
Both using Win case/Fed primer/1.115\” COL
Max-9
4.3gr Titegroup (TG) = 1009.0 fps
4.0gr TG = 936.9 fps
3.8gr TG = 930.3 fps

Glock 34
4.3gr TG = 1133.4 fps
4.0gr TG = 1067.8 fps
3.8gr TG = 1028.3 fps

I\’m loading them now at 3.6gr TG mainly for steel plate use in G34. The hot loads were to approximate commercial (Federal & Hornady 135gr loads carried in my EDC carry Max-9.

3.6gr TG in the G34 gets me 980.0 fps and a power factor of 131.6 which is comfortable for minor USPSA.

Thanks for your input above!
