Thantos Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hey all, Sorry for the generalized question here but, me and my two sons just went through class to get qualified to shoot USPSA matches. Its been over 20 years since I have reloaded for very light loads that would meet major for scoring. I would like to make some loads for my younger son (age 14) to use that are as light as possible for recoil but are still reliable and consistent. I have an old box of Billy's Bullets 200 grain LSWC .452 molly coated and a lot of 231 to use. Can anyone recommend some good data? he will be using a Colt GCNM 5" barrel. Thanks Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
