124 gr Blue Bullets and the new Target

[mont1120]

I won a free pound of the IMR Target powder over 2 years ago, and never could find a good use for it. When loaded in .45 it tended to produce quite a bit of recoil. With my normal 147 gr 9MM bullets, it did not feel good either.  This summer while being completely bored out of my skull with Covid (I will remain silent on that topic) lurking in every shadow, I decided to load 3.7 grs of Target with some 124 truncated Blues I had sitting around.

 

With an average of 1051 FPS, and Blues at 125 grains, I get a 130ish power factor that is really very soft, and quite accurate in my CZ and XDm carry optics rigs. It worked so well in fact I will try and find an 8lb jug of the stuff, and I already ordered the 124 truncated Blue pills. It has a quicker recoil impulse that I really favor over the 147 WSF loads I have been using for years. Ya just never now what the benefits of isolation will do for you.

How does it meter for you?

I have a 4lb jug I'm about to get into.
