Powder recommendations for 45 in IDPA CDP
pbcaster45 replied to CurlyShuffle's topic in 44/45 Caliber
Here's something in the ballpark! This load uses small pistol primer case, a large pistol primer and case would probably be better. Bullet: Blue Bullets 230 gr. RNFP (Polymer Coated/.452) Powder: VihtaVuori N310 3.8 grs. Primer: Winchester Small Pistol Case: Mixed Blazer & Federal OAL: 1.250 Avg. Vel.: 721.87 fps PF: 166 Recoil Spring: 16 lbs. -
Trying to come up with a load similar to the Sig Sauer Elite Performance 125 gr. +P V-Crown JHP factory load - more work needed but I'm on the right track. Plan to use the 125-grain version next at 1.250 with 6.8 grains of CFE. This is lower than the Sierra starting charge and should work in short throated guns. Bullet: Sierra Sig Sauer V-Crown 124 gr. JHP Powder: Hodgdon CFE Pistol 5.95 grs. Primer: Winchester Small Rifle Case: Starline .38 Super Comp (New) OAL: 1.210 (.995 with Stoney Point) Average Velocity: 1202 fps ES: 42 SD: 11 PF: 149 Recoil Spring: Dawson tool-less guide rod, 12 lb. Recoil Spring and Buffer Pad. Comments: Lee U-Die and Lee Expander Die used.

Off topic (.38 Super STI Trubor) but I just tried some AA#7 with 115 gr. HAPs and that stuff is awesome! No fireballs, shoots flat, accurate, and clean shooting too! Heck, I better include my load data or someone will call me out (I haven't had a chance to check the velocity). Bullet: Hornady 115 gr. HAP Powder: Accurate #7 10.5 grs. Primer: Federal 205 Small Rifle Case: Starline .38 Super (Lee Undersized Die) OAL: 1.240 (.977 with Stoney Point) Recoil Spring: 9 lbs. with Wilson Shok Buff

It uses the roll pin hole from the original adjustable sight.

My son was needing a Trijicon RMR for one of his Glocks and I was wanting to quit fiddling with batteries, so I mounted a Trijicon Dual Illuminated RMR on my XDm 5.25. I messed up the mounting screws for the RMR on the baseplate. I forgot that the Springer Precision screws are different from those supplied with the RMR. Kind of a happy accident, the new plate uses a roll pin for more support which I like. I never had problems with the original though... (+3500 rounds)

I was testing out the Precision Delta 147 grain JHP V2 in my Staccato XL so I gave them a try in my Wilson Combat Accu Comp.
