Here is my data:

Missouri Bullet 230 gr LRN

COAL 1.23

WST 4.5 gr.

Shot 1 808 fps

Shot 2 787

Shot 3 814

Shot 4 796

Shot 5 808

Shot 6 810

Shot 7 825

Shot 8 803

Avg 806 fps

ES 38 fps

SD 11 fps

This was out of a 5" barrel. This was technically over max for a LRN according to Hodgdon's data, but not over max for FMJ data; however, my OAL was longer than Hodgdon's. Given the differences, I would assume I am right on par with what they have. I showed zero pressure signs, but obviously work up your load in your gun. If your barrel has tighter dimensions, your pressure will be higher than what I had.

How was you accuracy? I too am looking for the best load. I have most weight bullets. All plated. Im shooting from a Glock 30 however, I have a new Sig 1911 coming. Im trying to get a load that is perfect! I have , WST,HP38,Power Pistol,VN37,N340,Blue Dot,Unique. Im lucky to have all those to work with. But, Way too confusing
