  1. Sounds like I'm going to be fine with the required oal, now I just need to get the load worked up before next weekends match. Hopefully the load will work well enough in a factory barrel also, as I intended to shoot production and production optics. I have two M&Ps to keep switching back and forth simple.

  2. I have been running Montana gold 124jhp,4.7 WST with an oal 1.13 for a couple years now out of a M&P pro. This averages 1075fps. I installed a new apex barrel and it wants a max OAL of 1.085-1.090. Since I have about 7 lbs of WST left I need to figure out how to make this work if possible. Should I just drop powder down and work my way up or is that length going to be unrealistic?

    Current rounds will force load,but ejecting is a major issue with obvious marks on the bullet.

  3. Installed the barrel, but my current load will not seat. MG 124 jhp, OAL 1.13 (avg) with 4.7 WST. Placing a bullet in a spent shell multiple times and seating it reruns an oal of 1.085. Not sure how safe or how to go about rebuilding a load for that oal.?

    The barrel did shoot @ 1 inch at 23 yards braced on my knees compared to 2 inch with the factory barrel. That was using a friends 115 RN loads witch seat fine with oal of 1.128

    Any advice would be appreciated.

  4. Thanks for the input. I loaded some from 4.7-4.9 and changed col to 1.250. The ones at 4.9 with a col of 1.250 chronoed @ 775 with no pressure signs.. One thing I did notice though was the difference between my Pro Chrono and my buddies CED. Setup in line with each other his was reading 25+ fps slower than mine.

  5. For starters I have only been reloading for a year now, but have been using WST for 9mm production load. Just bought a STI Ranger II in .45 and am trying to use the same powder. Here is where I started after reading and reading some more:

    4.7 gr. WST 230gr. Xtreme RN, COL 1.260 = Chrono (75-80 temp) 721, 728, 737, 704 AVG 723

    Now I would like to raise the average to at least 750 fps. Would you add powder or shorten COL? and why?

    I was reading on here that you could use lead data, so I went winchester's website a
