Recommended Posts

Been using WST for Precision Bullets 147's very successfuly. I would like some starting Data on using WST for Bear Creek 125's ?? I could use a starting point on grains, an an OAL...........based on some information i got, an some information from my 147's, I loaded up some BC's 125 at 3.4 to 4.4 going up in .2 increments with an average OAL of 1.125,,,,,,,,,,,would you consider this a good starting point??

Also, i am using a Glock 34, with a Lone Wolf Barrel and 12# spring.

I haven't tried the BC 125s with WST yet,but you're powder charges sound reasonable.You might want to pull the barrel out of you're gun and chamber check you're OAL though.If BC's 125s are like they're 115s,they have a short,rounded profile that might jam into the rifling.I had to load the 115s fairly short for the wife's SIG,and really short for my CZ.-Mike

i chamber checked each round in my lone wolf barrel. I use 1.120 to 1.130 as an OAL for my 147's, with an average of about 1.125ish. And they have fed my Glock very successfuly. So when i loaded these test rounds, i used 1.125 as a starting point. I also loaded about 5 rounds at about 1.21 to 1.122 an noticed that the bullet was getting scratch marks on it when chambering from the magazine, like they were a little short an were not feeding smoothly up the feed ramp. So i went back to 1.125. I just dont know whats good for OAL as far as pressures go.
