ZERO has load data for their bullets using HP-38 which is the same powder as WIN 231. Their load data for the 230 gn JHP uses 5.8 - 6.2 gn HP-38 with a COAL of 1.200-1.220 with a .469 min straight crimp.
For their 230gn FMJ they use 5.4-5.8gn HP-38 with COAL 1.245-1.265
My target loads using their FMJ 230 gn: 5.3gn WIN 231 COAL 1.260. However I do have a Baer which likes 5.6 gn.
Start using 5.0 gn and work up loads for each 1/10 gn and see what your pistol likes; also need to play with the COAL.
Hey QDM this is a question for you as I don't know where else to put it except up for grabs in the Forum proper.
I'm shooting 2xStack Para .45 - please keep the jeering to a minimum as I've heard it all & don't care! - in Limited. I can't get those freekin' guns to rum full-out. They work fine at the range but when I put the gas to them in a match they do all manner of stupid s*. I've loaded 1.200 - 1.250- & nothing works. I've asked all my friends & I get all kinds of advice...none of it is the same - & none of it works! I'm shooting MG 230 FMJ ball. Should work, right? Easy to work with, right? Well it doesn't. I just re-sprung my mags & I know they have to be spotless inside & I do it all. Just wondering if you might have a magic answer!
