Pittbug Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I currently have a stock 16lb spring in my Para P14 and want to start loading up some ammo with this recipe. I'm guessing perhaps a 14 or 15lb recoil spring? My current load of 4.6gr of titegroup/230gr and 16lb recoil spring drops the cases about 2 feet from where I'm standing. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) I currently have a stock 16lb spring in my Para P14 and want to start loading up some ammo with this recipe. I'm guessing perhaps a 14 or 15lb recoil spring?My current load of 4.6gr of titegroup/230gr and 16lb recoil spring drops the cases about 2 feet from where I'm standing. Thx I tend to run a 14# spring in my .45s Single Stacks with that load or the 4.3 clays 200 LSWC load. ETA: I run the 14#er in my .45 because I use lead and want that extra push to chamber some not quite sized right ammo....If I ummm....don't check the ammo...ummm. In my .40 SS(s) I'm going to try and go back to the 12.5 I run in my limited guns since I run jacketed.

Pittbug Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I ended up using the 12lb spring. The recoil feels a bit softer and the sights don't seem to dip after the recoil as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matzka Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I currently have a stock 16lb spring in my Para P14 and want to start loading up some ammo with this recipe. I'm guessing perhaps a 14 or 15lb recoil spring? I'm shooting Zero 230 FMJ over 3.8 Clays, 11 lb recoil, 15 main, also in a Para 14-45. Recoil seems more manageable - a little sharper impulse, but it's over faster. Sights don't dip as much as with a heavier spring. Double-taps, er, I mean..."controlled-pairs" usually end up very close on the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
