What's the recommended COAL for 147gr zombies? The ogive is very blunt. Having problems with them hanging up in the barrel rifling...
 
Assuming we're talking 9mm PCC, I had to go short with 147gr coated. Found them to work at 1.10. Otherwise I ran 1.12 in all my pistols

I am at 1.125 for uncoated. I do have occasional issues with them hanging on the rifling on my Sig P6 and have to tap the slide to go into battery. I need to look into that some more for that guy otherwise no issues with a G19, XD or PF9.

Ran a bunch at 1.115 last week, no problems, but if I was having your issue I'd shorten them and drop the charge a few tenths and work back up. Would expect to end up back between 3.2 and 3.4 of titegroup, but always good to be careful with changes.
 
IIRC 1.115 or 1.12 was necessary in my pistol. Ogive is somewhat variable with cast lead, plunk a dozen before deciding.
