stardust tommy Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) I have 3 PPC revolvers but wanted to build one myself I like the look of the old school PPC revolvers... http://i65.tinypic.com/2rfrq7s.jpg[/IMG] first time out, needs a little more sight adjustment, a tuned load and a lot of triggertime... (50m reduced target, shot indoor) http://i67.tinypic.com/2gv8nd5.jpg[/IMG] Edited July 15, 2017 by stardust tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardust tommy Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 if anybody have specific loads for Lothar Walther 1/10 twist barrels please let me know :-) (normal rifling) for the moment I shoot 3.5gr VV N310 behind a 125gr H&N HBWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) When I shot PPC the load :- 148gr HBWC - stay away from Speer because they are too soft. 2.8gr Bullseye Federal SP Primers If you are a WW231 lover, then use 3.0gr WW231. Forgot - a beautiful revolver. Edited July 15, 2017 by RePete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Sahlberg Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 RePete has the load I have shot since 1974...with my Ron Powers Model 65 GrandMaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 First off, nice revolver! I have had my Bill Davis PPC revolver for almost 30 years and the 2.7-2.8 Bullseye load is hard to beat in it. I have tried other fast burning pistol powders and had success with them also. In your case the Vit 310 is the proper burn rate of powder, I would see about trying different bullets like a 148. I have shot lighter weights in mine and had success with them but the 148 is hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I am having really good results with 138 gr. Bayou Bullets wadcutters. The polymer coating cuts down on leading and smoke and they are shooting 1 to 1-1/2" groups at 50 yds. out of my PPC and Open class Bianchi guns. The Bianchi gun has a 1 in 10 Walther barrel, the PPC gun has a 1 in 10 Douglass barrel. I am running these bullets at 920 FPS, don't remember the powder charge right now.

stardust tommy Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 found this link http://www.bullseyeforum.net/t815-38-special-full-wadcutter-stability read everything from mr keefer on the net that you can find. +/ 720 fp/s seems to be the magic number for 148gr HBWC... if you don't need to make any power factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
