PKT1106 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hodgdon shows a starting load of 4.4gr with a 180gr Berry's @ 1.125" with an estimated 868fps. I suggest you start at 4.4gr and see what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Where did you end up with this load? I'm looking at loading up some Bayou 180's to 1.150 and your load could be a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should get ypu pretty close with your precision bullets. Edited August 16, 2013 by Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonandMichelle Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I know you aren't using lead, but I'll throw 4.2 under S&S cast 180grs... Edit: At 1.130" Edited August 22, 2013 by JasonandMichelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have a shooting buddy that uses 4.4 grs of WST in his practice loads and has for years. He uses N320 for matches, mainly because WST is an inverse powder. To explain, inverse powders are temperature sensitive; the hotter the air temp the lower the velocity, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnote Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 200 grain _ 3.7 WST @1.13 = 162 pf trying 3.9 tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodfastc Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 bump wondering the same thing I loaded 4.4 with 185 precisions at 1.13 for my xdm 4.5 and had hoped to see more people who use this load before I went out and shot it as I don't have a chrono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I don't have a chrono Get a chrono... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnote Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Shot today some leftover rounds (1.13 180s &1.2 200s) from last summers loading session, temp 32* and they came in approx 40 fps faster than at 80*Definitely would recommend a chrono session prior to going to a major if you build them up in the cold and expect it to work out in the summertime. The opposite just resulted in some hotter loads for me going into IN SS/prod in two weeks Edited March 17, 2014 by cnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Wow, a 7.2 PF swing, I never noticed it was that extreme. Was that with the 1.13 or the 1.20, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that with the 1.13 or the 1.20, or both? the 180 short was a greater increase versus the 200 long, the ammo was in the truck while i shot an indoor PPC match.
