Justinsaneok Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have some Winchester brass, 165gr. Rainier bullets. Win231 and Unique are the only powders I have. CCI#500 SPP and Federal champion SPP. I have one major concern, accuracy. I will be shooting steel targets and only care that they shoot to POA. What powder between the two will be a better place to start in a Glock .40? I'm loading with a Dillon 550. Thanks B.E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Shooting steel targets to knock down or Steel Challenge type shooting? In most cases, I would go with a light load of Win231. I don't shoot Glocks so I'm sure others will chime in with more experience but 231 is a decent powder overall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock down silhouette targets, poppers and plate racks. 4" plates are the smallest and most plentiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinsaneok Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 I should probably add that I plan on trying some kind of entry level shooting sport like IDPA or something,I really like shooting steel plates, so the loads need to work for whatever division a newbie should start in with a Glock 22. I'll listen to all advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Do you have any idea of your FPS or power factor? I have never used any 165 but I picked up several thousand to cheap to pass up. I had planed to use WST or tightgroup anyways.

Deputy1199 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Rainier 165gr over 5.5gr WST, OAL 1.125" should do it nicely. I get 1,050 fps out of my Glock 23 with this load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like I need to break down and get some WST seems like everyone is using it. I need to load 231 and unique hotter than I wanted to get it to go strait.
