pandashorts Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I've noticed a lot of guys and gals with loads for 180 Gr. bullets, but I can't find anything for a 135 Gr. Flat Point. My Sierra manual doesn't even list Titegroup under 135 Gr. bullet! Anyone with a suitable load please help. I'm looking for a nice soft target load, but anything will help at this point. I figure 5.0 grains will work nicely, but I am weary of loading without any sort of data. Thanks ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandashorts Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Flexmoney, I think I forgot to mention that I am retarded. I don't know how I missed that data. I thought I checked out hodgdon.com! Oh well, nobody's perfect. Thanks for enlightening me and hopefully I'll see you at the shoot on Saturday. BTW, the 22 is working out nicely. I put about 50 rounds through it the other day and am ready to make some more holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Do a search in the 10/40 forum here and you'll find what you need. I've loaded 5.0 gr under a 135, loaded long (1.120"). It will get you about 1000-1050 fps, but it can be a bit inconsistent over the chrono. Nice, soft and potentially very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
