Bosshoss Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Running low on 230 rn lead for 625. I have never shot 200 gn. bullets at major PF before. Is recoil differance noticable? 200's are slightly cheaper but I have been shooting 230 gn for years without any problems. So what are most of you USPSA shooter using in your 625's? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Six-Gun Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Running low on 230 rn lead for 625. I have never shot 200 gn. bullets at major PF before.

Thanks I have been shooting the wheel for about 10 yrs and can't tell much difference in the 230 vs 200, but then I have not shot many 200's. When I shot Limited, there was not much difference. I use 230's almost exclusively. The one I like the most is the 230 Billybullet. Go to BillyBullets.com, I think that is correct for pricing. They are really good.

buckaroo45 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 For what it's worth, I've found my 4" 625 with LPA fiber optic sights /.250 front shoot about 4" high @ 10 yds w/ 230 grain fmj loads and about 1" high with 200 grain lead. Lighter boolits shoot lower. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The trouble is finding 200 gr. RN for a .45. I don't like the ones being cast/moly/poly coated as they have a small shoulder and it seems a bit less "throw 'em in and go" friendly. Bout the only other I've found is Raniers 200 grain Plated RN. Started using them last year and in my 625 they were more accurate than 230 grains RN of any kind. Don't notice much difference in the recoli, but I do like the way they feel and that's always subjective. Semms like it's about .7 grain more Clays than for a 230 grain Jacketed or about .5 more of Clays for a Plated Bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolverJockey Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Not exactly the same thing but I feel like the 196gr .40 I shoot in my 610 has less recoil than 175gr TC of the same PF. It is not a big difference and doesn't seem to have any effect on cadance or accuracy. Maybe due the lack of cycling parts, revolver perceived recoil is just a bit more relative.

pskys2 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 A heavier bullet usually feels softer, but takes longer to recover (In the extreme a quick shove vs a slow push). Lighter bullet may feel sharper in recoil but usually recovers a bit quicker. Don't know if one can actually see it or if it's mostly mental. The other thing is a lighter quicker bullet will take less lead and, to me, seems better for reaction targets. But then that's probably in my mind as we're talking mili=seconds.
