Norone Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I searched and cant find anything but a Glock Major load. Anyone got anything as I have a STI and a ton of 124gr FP bullets. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBomber Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Should be able to use about any data for 124gr FMJ or hollow points. May have to tweak it a little bit for your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevrofreak Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 If it is an exposed lead base it isn't ideal for compensated pistols. If you want to go down this road anyway, flat point bullets load nearly identically to many common JHP bullets, like Precison Delta and Hornady HAP.

Determine your OAL for that bullet with Your gun, and then work up your load slowly, with a chrono. Which powder are you using ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have your chamber reamed so that you can load to 1.150-1.160” if you’re running an STI, and the ammo wont pass the plunk test any longer than 1.115” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, he should lengthen his reloads. Edited February 24, 2020 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I just re-read it - looks like you're probably correct, Memphis. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norone Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Sooooooory. Been out. Cleared projects and zero reception makes for crap comms. FPS is just past major but some real hot wham. Decided to shelve the FP and use the bullets for something else. Thanks y'all for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldsco Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just came across this thread and thought I would add what I am using. I am shooting the following though an STI DVC Open: Berry 124gr FP Hollow Base Thick Plate Bullet 7.9 gr HS-6 WSP Primer COAL: 1.10 (remember this flat point makes it measure shorter than if it were a RN) . My last chrono session showed an average of 1429 giving a PF of 177. The comp works well at this and I don't worry about a sample missing major. The lowest I measured out of the 10 shots I chrono'd last came in at 1402 with a PF of 173 so I still have a nice margin. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
