dave pasos Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 We've talked about lighter bullets in a 45 for major but has anyone tried the lighter bullet (155,165) for shooting steel (steel challenge) Any thought? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ong45 Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I have used 155's for my .40 load and it works pretty well. I have heard that you don't want too slow a bullet when you shoot outer limits . Waiting for the audible feedback i guess ,which is not the way you are supposed to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Dave, I also shoot a 40 for SC but use frangible bullets, 125gr. I think they make them in 45. For SC they are the S*it. No flying bits of lead or jacketing to hit you or anyone else. But the real great thing is you can load them light to get almost no muzzell rise, which helps on followup shots as well as plate to plate. I shoot the 40 125gr with 3.0 gr Clays @ 1.110 OAL in an STI EDGE. I use a 7lb recoil spring and the gun is as reliable as can possibly be. Do not know the velocity. But since there is no real pf issues, I go based on feel. I went through about 25 differnt combinations of bullets and powder to get this one and I really like it.
