STI DVC 40 Major load

[phil plesetz]

Looking for suggestions on what combinations work best in the DVC.  Lead, plated or jacketed, powder etc.

Thanks,

Don't see the dvc being much different from any other limited gun in terms of loads. they all vary a little. it's a 2011 so loading long is common. 1.170+. so many different combinations but w231 4.7gr with bbi 180gr gets me a 170ish pf

Bunch of guys at my club run their DVC at 1.165 oal with 4.3 of titegroup under a 180fp ibeji head.  Its a little short but they run flawless.

180- BBI 4.6 of titegroup at 1.180 and you are in business. I weigh. 10 charges at one to get a more accurate reading

I'm quite happy with 180 grain Blue bullets loaded with 4.7 grains of N320, or 175 grain Bayou SWC loaded to 4.55 gr N320.  Both bullets are loaded to 1.185 OAL.

180 grains coated heads, 4.6 grains N320 loaded to 1.18OAL in my Edge.

You may want to try a 200 grain projectile, with major loads recoil seems softer not as snappy.
