I found 200 grain SNS to be the ideal bullet for me. I loaded 1.175LOA and 4.1 grains of WST. Very soft and accurate. JMO.

Load close to same 4.1grs at 1.180 BAYOU 200 gr

accurate and soft shooting

I have been using 200 gr Cast with N320 loaded long and like them a lot. I am not saying there is a huge difference in the same with 180 though. Opinion seems to go back and forth on that one.

VV320, Zero 180 or 200.

Use a little less powder with the 200.

Very very soft shooting especially around 165-166 PF-the comment was from the Chrono guy at A2.

Accuracy is not an issue.

I did not notice a real cost difference. I pretty much just order 200.

But I do not experiment much, I find something that works and stick with it. I only switch based on a recommendation from a National Champion.

I shoot coated SNS 200 RN's in my STI Edge and absolutely love them!

What powder do you like with the 200 RN? I just picked up my first batch of them to try.

I love Solo1000 but it's been impossible to find. My major match load is 4.1gr Vihta Vuori N320 @ 1.185" OAL shooting a STI Edge.

I have also used Autocomp and Ramshot Competition with good results.

I got a quick and easy lead on an 8 lb'er of WST. So I'm going to give that a try.

And I'm switching to limited from production, so the gun is jumping around a little more than I'm used to. So my thought was to try and get things as soft as possible for a smoother transition. Once I've been behind the gun for a while, I'll start playing around with some "better" performing loads.

200 gr SNS RN did the trick! Thanks, Ryan!

JCC, JNR, You guys were right on the money with 4.1 gr WST. Right at 170 PF out of an STI DVC.
