38SuperDub Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm looking for some good starting points for Precision Bullets 185gr loads. Yes I have a loading manual - but just curious if others have had luck with certain powder / weight combos. I will be shooting a 5" M&P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) I'm looking for some good starting points for Precision Bullets 185gr loads. Yes I have a loading manual - but just curious if others have had luck with certain powder / weight combos. I will be shooting a 5" M&P N320 Or WST. My load are for STI at 1.180 I don't think your M&P can go there, so you will need to adjust downward. N320 4.5gr, WST 4.7gr. Be sure to bell the case well so you don't shave the Moly, if you are shaving it, you can see it around the rim after you seat the bullet. If you look on the FAQ page on Precision it will tell you not to use TiteGroup. I've seen people use TiteGroup but only after the smoke cleared, they also seemed to have a lot of fowling. Those are not starting points actual major load at 170pf so back it off and work it up. Edited July 7, 2011 by CocoBolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisW Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Win 231 powder at 1.143 OAL. 4.8 gr gives me a 171 -172 PF from a 4.5" XDm 40cal Nice and soft load. Not too much smoke either. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
