38stupid Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Looking for major PF load for Clays with 185g JHP (Zero). The loading manual shows 4.9g for a 181pf. Need a good starting point for a 170pf load for a 5" 1911. Thanks for any help. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Looking for major PF load for Clays with 185g JHP (Zero).The loading manual shows 4.9g for a 181pf. Need a good starting point for a 170pf load for a 5" 1911. Thanks for any help. 38 I have used ther 185 gr. Star JHP with 4.3 to 4.6 gr. Clays for ca 800 to 870 fps. The loads are very accurate and reliable both in my Sig 220 Sport and several 1911's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I had 170 with XTP's using 4.5. Start at about 4.3 and work up would be my advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 im running 4.9 with a berrys 185 flat point...shoots really good. Feels like a wide/long bull barreled 40 cal limited gun shooting 180s.. Not sure abou the OAL, i could measure one..but that would involve work. Im getting right at 980 fps with a federal 150 and mixed brass with this load in a 5 inch 1911. harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
