SpaceFlunky Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 BBI – 200gr WST Powder 1.135 OAL .422 Crimp 81 Degrees Fahrenheit Tested with a Glock 24. 6” KKM barrel. 3.6 gr 8 shot Average 810 fps Low: 798, High: 825 162 PF 3.8 gr 8 shot Average 835 fps Low: 811, High: 856 167 PF 4.0 gr 8 shot Average 850 fps Low: 817, High: 892 170 PF 4.2 gr 8 shot Average 865 fps Low: 836, High: 889 173 PF 4.4 gr 8 shot Average 883 fps Low: 859, High: 911 176 PF I settled on the 4.0 load and shot a match with it a few days later. It went very well and the loads accuracy was perfect. I have not done any group shooting at distance yet tho. I am going to load up some more 4.0gr loads to see if the FPS can get a little closer together. I have some AutoComp and Solo 1000 that I am probably going to make some test loads with later on. If anyone has any suggested starting points or experience with those 2 powders and 200gr BBIs, I would really appreciate any info. Here is a video of my shooting the 4.0 grain load at a match.

jcc7x7 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Been shooting 4.2 gr for a while and just backed it down to 4.1 grs this summer. Started chono tests in the winter at 16 degrees. last chrono was at 89 degrees lost 2 -3 PF points with the hotter weather. But a 89 degrees I'm getting 171-172 with 4.1. I live in the north east so probably won't ever get a 100 degree match. I find it the most comfortable load to shoot out of my SS and Limited gun. I did a post similar to this back in the winter, you may want to see if you can find it. thanks for your info it collaborates with mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerassassin22 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Autocomp is a little rough with 200gr bullets tried it a few times. Solo I think would be great, I currently use Ramshot Comp until i can find some Solo 1k or more Ramshot Edited July 23, 2014 by deerassassin22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an 8# sealed jug that, if needed, could be sold or traded for something for suitable. Ive heard good things about Ramshot Comp and 200gr's.

When I tried them in both my 40cals the recoil was alot harder then my Ramshot Comp loads. I have a Spreadsheet I could send you with what I have for load data with 200grn bullets for Ramshot loads and a few Auto Comp and some other powders just shoot me a PM with email address.

I've never used or tried 200gr but Ramshot Competition is a dream with 180gr. It's clean, accurate and measures damn near perfect every time out of my hopper. I just hope to be able to buy more of it in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceFlunky Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Man it sounds like I really need to try Ramshot Comp. out! I think my 8# of AutoComp is going up for trade locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerassassin22 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If you could find someone in your local club maybe had some open Autocomp you could load up 50 rnds or 100rnds and try for yourself before you commit to trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) RS Comp is as soft as baby poop mixed with warm butter. It just smells better.... Edited July 25, 2014 by bowenbuilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWprotected Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I agree with the above about RS Comp that is what I am using for now with 180gr. bullets. I do really like the WST, I have used it as well and when shot back to back with the RS Comp I find the feel is very similar. I can make major with a little less powder using the RS. BTW that load looks like it shoots very flat out of your Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
