At the Charity Classic my 625 ran 172 in the middle of the day and 168 in the evening just before dark temps had dropped a little using 230 lead plain cast with 3.9 of Clays. Chrono work showed my gun didn't drop velosity at 3.7 but was erratic on the spread so I stayed with 3.9. Takes 4.0 to 4.1 of Clays using a Precision Delta 230 jacketed bullet to make major with a 5 inch 1911 or my 625. OAL at 1.250.

I ordered some of the xtreme bullets to try. Is there a standard OAL that will work out of a revo and a 1911?

I use a 230 gr. round nose Bayou with 3.8 gr. Clays. from my 5inch 625. 171+ P.F. Very clean & accurate,plus Bayou is an excellent company to do business with. Pete

I never had trouble with 1.22, but of course the 1911 might be picky.

I load 4.2 gr Clays and 230 Zero to 1.260. Perfectly reliable in both guns.
