AA2520 does pretty good.

For my TS, I like around 4.8 N320 with MG180jhp seated to 1.14 or whatever will fit into your magazines. I don't have chrono data, sorry.

I like longer if the barrel will take it. 1911's, M&P's work with 1.135 or so. However my CZ SP-01 has to be shorter with some bullet designs ( MG 121gr). Try a round in your barrel before loading a bunch.

Nu Finish works good. Get it at WalMart. I don't think it contains any wax.
-
N133 works great in a 16" bbl, it is a rather fast powder. I load 23.5 with a 52 SMK and get great groups.

I was told that Montana Gold jackets are not brass but copper. MG orders their copper with the brass coloring.

My favorite load at this time is Montana Gold 200gr JFP with 5.2 to 5.4 gr VV N320. My Les Baer and Wilson like 5.2 best and my Kimber Super Match likes 5.4. These loads have been the most accurate for me out of many I have tested.

I have two 550's one for large primers and one for small primers. It is very convenient. Usually one is set up for 9 mm and the other for 45 acp which I load a lot of both. If you can do two 550's it is really handy.

Has anyone tried the Storm Lake drop in barrel for the M&P Pro. Did it improve accuracy? If so, was it significant? Was it really a drop in fit? Thanks for any help. My Pro shoots good but I am allways looking to do better. LesM

My current favorite load for 45 single stack is Montana Gold 200 gr JFP with 5.2 to 5.4 grains of VV N320. I haven't chrono'ed it yet but it is very accurate.

I get cresent shapped brass slivers in the primer cup area if some 45 military brass with former crimped primers slips into my mix of brass. Best to avoid crimped primers or swage the pockets.
