Medicaptain Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I just completed a deal to pick up an STI DVC.....less than 200 rounds down the barrel....I am about to dive in deep in USPSA Limited and plan to shoot three events a week (Lucky to live in AZ!!). Been shooting a M&P 9L, G19 and 34 with just stock ammo's. I am working on picking up a Dillon SQ. Deal set up for 9mm but have ZERO idea where to start with the ammo. I am perusing other posts and making notes daily. I plan on going out and buying one box of every ammo I could find. 147g, 124g and 115g and throwing them all through the gun and once I find one that I like, just mirroring that round......anyone else have a better suggestion?

Bkreutz Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 My personal preference for minor PF ammo is CFE Pistol, 5.0 gr with a 124gr bullet, loaded to 1.15, gives me a 134 PF and works well. I don't shoot minor PF anymore, but that's what I have loaded up for my wife when she comes out to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Your first decision is : 124 gr or 147 gr ? Have you developed a preference, yet? The 124 is faster (snappier) and the 147 is softer and slower to some fast shooters. I prefer the 147's. 2nd : Powder. I like the WW231 - lots of people like N320. Then a whole bunch of other powders out there, too. What have you been shooting, lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicaptain Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have not ever shot a 2011 yet....it is on its way to me now. I have been shooting a G19 and a G34 using various different 115g box ammo with a preference for Fiocchi. the 34 didn't like 147g and I have never tried a 124g,,,I have a ton of work ahead of me I know.

Hi-Power Jack Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Your preference for lighter or heavier bullets is not firearm dependent - if you prefer the recoil impulse of a heavier bullet in your G19 or G34, you'll most likely prefer it in a 2011, also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
