124 GR FMJ Precision Delta VV N340 load recommendations

[Broncos79]

All - going to work up a load with 124 GR PD FMJ using VV N340 - will be shot from an Atlas Titan - Adam from Atlas recommends loading long - 1.169 COL 

 

suggestions on powder charge - is 5.4 GR safe with this bullet and 1.165 COL?

I agree with loading long if you can.  I loaded up some 124g XTP with the starting 5.3g, and it filled the case more than I was comfortable with.  Shot those through a G17, and it functioned fine and was accurate.  But it kicked.  With the starting load.  It's been a while and I don't remember the exact AOL, but VV site shows 1.142, so I did at least that.  You should be fine with 5.4 and 1.169.  Max is 5.7.
