LESSOR2

WOW!!! I went from 4.3 HP-38 to 4.7 and all my Glocks performed flawlessly. I shot a USPSA Fun Match Thursday and had no malfunctions. My G19 Performed perfectly in PPC. Thanks Again.

Thanks everyone. I learned a lot from the replies. I am a new member of a local USPSA oriented pistol club (just got my USPSA membership card in the mail)and I know there is a club crono available. I will definitely experiment with different weights and charges and use the crono to shorten the learning curve as suggested. The club runs a 3 stage practice/fun shoot every Thursday night so I will have ample opportunity to work the bugs out of myself and my reloads. Thanks again all! Brent

Been shooting USPSA since Sept and loving it. I shoot a box stock Glock 17. Bought a D550 and been reloading about 3 month now. I first started with Tight Group 3.9 and Berry's 115 TMJs. Seemed to shoot fine. I the went through 4000 Speer TMJ 115s and switched to 4.3g HP-38. Seemed fine. I now have 3000 Precision Delta 115 FMJs and am loading HP-38 @ 4.3 and seems OK except I get a stove pipe once in a while and wonder if the gun is cycling fully. I have never cronoed my rounds. I use Federal or CCI Small Pistol Primers depending on what Cabelas has on sale. My main question is about 115 vs 124 vs 147 vs FMJ vs JHP etc... Seems to be a lot of various opinion when I ask guys at the shooting club. Some swear by 124s and others by 147 and FMJ vs JHP seems like a big argument ensues. In short, I am at the point where my skills have developed to the point that I want to maximize my ammo and reloading but I really don't know which grain and type of bullet is the best for me. I still have 5lbs of HP-38 so I would like to stay with that and use it up unless it is totally a bad thing for this application. Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated. I hope I have provided enough info here, if not let me know what else I need to fill in the blanks (no pun intended) Merry Christmas Brent

Hi all, Bought my first hand gun (Glock 17) in January this year and the rest is history. Took several courses on safe handling and then tactical and then comp shooting over the summer. Started shooting PPC in Sept and USPSA in November. Bought a Dillon 550 and been reloading for several months now. I'm totally addicted! HELP!!!! I CAN'T STOP HAVING FUN SHOOTING!!!! The way I found myself here is I was seaching google for answers about the best brand, and weight bullet for reloading for comp so that will be my next post. Hope to learn a ton. Brent
