115 gr JHP's

4.2 - 4.4 gr Clays

4.6 - 4.8 gr WST

5.1 - 5.3 gr W231

125 gr JHP's

3.9 - 4.1 gr Clays

4.3 - 4.5 gr WST

4.8 - 5.0 gr W231

The above work for me, from my guns. The 115's run 1050 - 1130 fps and the 125's run 980 - 1070 fps. My favorite loads are 115gr JHP with 4.65 gr of WST and 125gr JHP with 4.4 gr of WST these run 1100 and 1040 respectively.
