Ross Chevalier Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Hello all, I would like to solicit your opinions on a starting load or your experience with a successful load. Gun(s) SV Infinity 5" AET barrel Bullets Montana Gold 165gr JHP Primers Federal Sm Pistol Brass Winchester 1x fired OAL - TBD A couple of shooters of my acquaintance have recently moved to 165gr bullets from 180gr. Their experiences have all been very positive so I thought I would give it a try. I have consulted the excellent resource that Jeff Maass provides but would always like input. Your comments on 165 vs 180, recommended powders, loads, would be appreciated. I have found that the MG bullets are extremely accurate in both guns, and unlike other bullets, the aggressive rifling of the AET doesn't rip off the plating or the jackets. Plus I can get 2K at a pretty good price right now. Thanks in advance, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 About .2 to .4 gr more powder than a 180 gr load at 1.200". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter_rob Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I currently load 5.6 of Vit. N320 behind a Zero 165JHP at 1.200 OAL with Fed. Small Rifle Primers. It is a fast snappy load but I like it. I shot 200 Gr. lead for a long time but I am glad i switched to the 165's. Not sure if there will be a big difference in the Zero and the Montana Gold. I hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
