reloading for tan limited

[drivenagain]

Just picked up a Dillon 1050, Titegroup, CCI primers and 147gr blue bullets.

Need a 9mm minor load for USPSA Limited.

Does anyone have a good load for their Limiteds that's soft and accurate?

3.3 titegroup with a 147 blue is pretty soft.

Plunk, thunk, spin and dump.

 

Make sure to keeo the ogive off the rifling. Tanfos are short throated.

3.2 or 3.3 @ 1.125. Plunk, spin test. Good load.

Oh, one point. Limiteds have pretty heavy tops and (imho) overly strong recoil springs.  you will want to experiment to get the load/spring combination that runs flatest. I video bill drill from the side and watch how flat it runs.

 

And light springs help get that!  i run 6# in the s2 (132pf 135gr bullets, tightgroup). But polishing the rails may be needed to slick them up enough to use light springs. Just a thought!

I have the gun pretty slick, per your tips on other threads thanks for that, running a 6# was way too slow and didnt feel right and gave me 2 FTF, 8# has been perfect running factory ammo.

Sounds like you have it well sorted out and ready for the 2018 season!
