[QUOTE="WhiteyMacD, post: 1057815, member: 7633"] Bump it up to 2.8 or a little over. I recently loaded 147J&Ks over 2.8gr of TG and had 1 fail to eject out of 100. 2.8gr is still anemic, but its just enough to cycle my HK USP. Another tip, that you may already know, is make a mag's worth of a starting load then a mags worth of a little higher, so on and so forth (but just dont go too high). And test them until you get clean cycling. Once you get to the batch that cycles clean. Take your "written down" load data and transfer to your "successful loads" log. I started small batching all my test loads with a small workups and documenting and my reloading has been very successful and satisfying since. For example: the 147s/2.8TG came about from 3 batches. 16 rnds of 147/2.6TG 16 rnds of 147/2.8TG 16 rnds of 147/3TG I found the 2.8 and 3 cycled reliably (save for the 1 round w/ 2.8gr). I went with my lighter load, but my final entry into my log book was 3.0gr as my "SUCCESS" load with a note that 2.8 will cycle reliably. [/QUOTE]
