147gr safe to shoot?

Rick, some excellent information! I think I will have to try that Nd see what happens with it

Don, I don't disagree. The hold open catches on an empty magazine without firing it but has issues with Winchester 115g, and pretty much anything that wasn't that 147 stuff and it's confusing me. I could be limp wristing it, however I have no issues with my 1918 using the same stance. is there any way yo tell how hot a specific load is?

chicken, the only reason I ask is because the 147 was the only thing not giving my byf a hold open issue, including WWB, but I also dont want to damage it :/
