See in my gun 6.8grns of AC won't even come close to making Major in my Open G17. I am at 7.2grns of AC with MG 124grn JHP's loaded at 1.160, make 172 all day!

I have a SJC G17 open built for major

Do you think your load data would be good for my Hdy 124 gr FMJs?

As with every weapon, there are differences in each barrel due to manufacturing. I've had barrels from the same source have a difference of 3-7 PF. Start below the recommendation that was quoted, (like about 6.6 grains or lower) load up 5 rounds and then there is only one way to find out if your combination makes major. Shoot the load over a chronograph using your weapon. If it doesn't make major, bump it up .2 grains (thats point 2 as in two tenths of a grain) and repeat.

Differences in brass, primarily due to internal web strength which affects capacity, will also produce different velocities and of course power factors. Use brass from the same manufacturer when developing your load.

If I remember correctly,SJC has a load suggestion/recommendation for their guns using WSF. Don't exactly recall the bullet, charge weight though.

I got this load data from SJC

1.142 oal

New or once fired brass inspected

Major:

125 grain jhp we use zero bullets

Winchester superfield powder starting at 6.7 grains

CCI oem or Winchester small pistol primers

Minor:

Titegroup powder 3.9 grains

Rest is the same
