Mr.Kirk Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Has anybody put together loads for their 625 using Donnie's new 200 RN? I figure that I'll take the rifle approach and use my SWC charge to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not his, but a little with Black Bullet Intl. 200 RN. Pretty sure Donnies is the same bullet, different coating, has a pointier nose and a small shoulder right? 4.5 Clays barely made it out of my PC625 5". Wasn't happy with them taper crimped, seemed to pull out worse than Jacketed or lead due to the coating. And had a bit of trouble roll crimping, they actually wanted to telescope back into the case. Another problem on the straight Lead Version of that bullet is the shoulder can catch on the reloads. I was hoping the Coated ones would be slick enough to not do that. But I know some do use them and like them. I'm sure if you played with the OAL you could find a good spot. I've been using the Ranier 200 RN, but it takes a lot more powder!

calvary45 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 4.2gr of clays and bayou 200s made 168pf, but it was out of my 5in SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLSlim Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Been using them in my 1911s with great success. Normally I load between 5.1 and 5.5 of 231. For the 1911s, I have to run an OAL of 1.247, but assume the 625 wouldn't be as picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlockCanMan Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I ordered a 1000 of them from Donnie a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully they will be in this next week so I can try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered the Ranier 200 RN and was wondering what OAL you use? I load with Titegroup and will start at the lower end of the lead load data per their reccomendations.

With 5.4 Titegroup I was getting 875 f/s in a 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJones1911 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I love the Bayou Bullets. I use the 200gr RN with 4.3 Grains of Clay's. Clay's is soft shooting and very clean with the Bayou Bullets. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowrider Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) I just shot 94.31 percent of points shot at MCC with these. Counting penalties it was a bit different , but yea I love the things! When I started working up I measured the bearing surface on these and a cast 200gr SWC that I get locally. OAL was the same too so I just went with that data for a baseline. Edited November 6, 2012 by Shadowrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
