ss+P Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 is/has anyone tried shooting wst over a 200 gr jacketed bullet. my current load is 4.2gr of wst over a 185 precision moly bullet. comes in around 168PF. my buddy wanted to try some 200gr bullets and we started with 4.2gr of universal and it feels a little snappier than my current load. wanted to try the wst but havent found much load data for this.

Please list your OAL. That is super duper key information, and your info is kinda useless without it. I am sure it may help someone with a similar load Edited December 30, 2011 by JaeOne3345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
