buckaroo45 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm a 63 year old member of the South Florida division of the Oklahoma "Fat Man Shooting Team". I'm going to the US Steel Shoot in Titusville, Florida the end of March. I plan to use a S&W 627 revolver but I'm having difficulty coming up with a low recoil load. I have 38 short colt and 38 special brass, Federal SP primers, Clay's / Titegroup and Bullseye powders but can get most others from shooting club compadre's. I have several thousand 125 gr black moly bullets. Any recipes? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My plan for this stage is "Keep shooting until I hit something" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) OAL 1.135 OAL Titegroup will most likely be the most accurate, followed by CLAYS and then Bullseye. Start at 3.0grains of TG. You will most likely end up somewhere around 3.6gr or so for the best accuracy. but of course, it depends on the gun, and you too......I would taper crimp with a 9mm die, and give it a healthy crimp. It is a great match, and I wish I was coming down this year..... If you need anything else, please PM me.... Good luck, DougC Edited January 23, 2010 by DougCarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then 2.7 to 2.9 VV N310 and OAL 1.160 for 38 short colt. At the 2.9 should give you 850 fps and the 2.7 should give you about 750 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
