primo86gt Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I will be using 180 rnfp Xtreme bullets, I already load 5.1gr of win 231 and it shoots pretty good out of my G23 but it seems like it has more kick out of the G35, scratching my head, maybe powder speed is not a good match for the longer barrell.. I may start shooting local match and would like to make major PF , I have Clays , 700X, 800X, win 231, HP38 and a couple of others, Ive been Loading on a Dillon 650 since 1992 and just started loading on a SL900 for my sporting clays habit.

fuentesd99 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) W231 and HP38 are the same powder, just some info. I use 5.0 of W231 behind a 180 Rainier Ballistics bullet. Edited March 25, 2014 by fuentesd99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not use any of those same powders you use but I do see the same results with the powders I use. I also have a G23 and a G35. If I work up a load for the G23 and get it where I want it. The action/behavior is slightly more harsh out of the G35 with that same load. I think it has to do with the longer barrel, not your powder. I think anyway. FYI, i've only used BlueDot, IMR-PB and IMR SR4756 under sever different bullet wieghts. The heavier the bullet the better in my experience.

noslofivoh Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I used 4.5 gr of titegroup with 180 rn Berrys bullets CCI primers and OAL 1.135. I made 171.2 PF this past weekend at the USPSA Area 6 championships. Edited April 14, 2014 by noslofivoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird_Dog0347 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I was using 4.6gr of N320 and a 180gr plated projectile at "max" (essentially just longer than factory) length to make major out of the (my) factory G35 barrel. Shoots soft and nice, even better at minor loads, it's soft as a baby's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
