Odawgp Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Looking for a 40 Cal steel load using Tite Group and Montana Gold 155 JHP with small rifle primers. Rifle primers? Hodgdon's lists 5.4 as starting 5.9 max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'd have to look back through all my stuff to find what I had worked up in 155s. I'm only running 4.7 grains of Titegroup behind a Nosler 135 for a "gamer" load. It really depends on what you have for a gun, and how it's sprung to get an idea as to what you can get away with.

sauza45 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I dont use Titegroup but I just worked up a steel load. The load I setteled on is N320 4.8 gr winchester small rifle primer Hornady XTP 155 OAL 1.220 crimp .421 win brass This load gave me 131 PF from my Brazos Limited gun. This might help get you a starting place. It worked fine with a 12# recoil spring, but I will try with 10# spring next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noylj Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Why the use of small rifle primers? 5.6gn of TiteGroup with a 155gn bullet should be about the same as the N320 load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using small rifle primers because that is what I use for Limited and I dont have any small pistol primers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
