mont1120 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 First of all, I highly recommend the Caldwell infrared lighting system to chrono rounds indoors. What a great product. It missed one round going through, not too shabby. Soooo, since it is tinker with the loads time, here is what I found. I tried out two new powders, Titewad and Nitro 100. These loads are not gospel, so if you use them for your own purposes, they ya go........use at your own caution and discretion. Blue 230 gr, 2.8 Titewad-660, 621, 637, 650, 637. This was a low recoiling round I will use for steel and practice. MG 200 gr, FP, 3.5 Titewad-704, 737, 742, 751. Another good minor round. Blue 230 gr, 3.8 Nitro 100-735, 729, 721, 735, 740, 748, 750. I think this is my new major competition round. After I check the accuracy more, we shall see. Very similar to WST and Clays. Blue 230, 3.2 Nitro 100-711, 686, 698, 634, fun minor round. Blue 200 SWC gr. 3.7 Nitro 100-852, 802, 846, 842, 841 MG 200 FP, 3.9 Nitro 100-802, 751, 753, 764, 795 And the others for sport; Blue 230, 4.3 Win 231-609, 689, 694, 703, 629, I think the slow one was a small primer Blue 230 gr, 4.6 Win 231-764, 807, 762, 724, OK round, snappier then the others. MG 200 FP, 6.5 Longshot-732, 786, 799, 747, 795, slow minor round Blue 230 gr, 6.0 Longshot-739, 727, 741, 772, major round but recoil is heavier then WST, Clays or Nitro 100. Blue 230 gr, 3.9 700X-708, 725, 707, 711, minor round. Blue 200 SWC, 4.8 700X-816, 871, 844, 865, 849. This ends up being a 1`69 PF, and really was a nice round. MG 200 FP, 5.0 700X-831, 832, 805, 809, not quite major. With the variations reported in the two Clays formulas, and WST's velocity issues, Nitro 100 and Titewad seems to be great replacements, as is 700X. I love the low recoil impulse of Clays, but the Nitro was not much different. The only issue I have with 700X is the metering is something you have to keep an eye on. Longshot is just plain snappy, but is a reliable major powder. Again, should you decide to use these loads, you are on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thanks for sharing ... I presume this is a .45 ACP? Love to see your accuracy results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
