#Accurate 5 185 grain xtp crimp manuals#
Most manuals stop at 147 grains, though Hodgdon and Vihtavuori have data for 150 grain. Based on your data, find a load that delivers 750 fps to 800 fps. Id load 5 at each of several increasingly large powder charges. Very accurate and I have shot 3 inch 4 shot groups at 100 yards using a Ruger Super Redhawk with 4x scope. The cores are copper plated, then restruck once more. Set your crimp die to give a solid crimp but make sure you are still headspacing on the case mouth after crimping. Not enough power to cycle causes feed issues (slide not going back far enough to eject, pick up the next round, or lock back), too much power causes frame battering and stress (frame peening or slide cracks). 429 Bullets These are great bullets and I have used them for several years and they do a fantastic job on whitetail deer.

7.5 Unique is the listed max for the 200 grain XTP per the Lyman 49th 11,300 C.U.P. A joy to shoot with enough juice to let you know you are shooting something. 7 grains is nice also but naturally a tad warmer. Or you can work up a load that reduces recoil, 5.4 grains of Powder U is 850 fps with a 230 grain LRN, 5.1 grains will reliably cycle the gun reducing recoil (Bullseye pistol logic).įor most semiauto pistols round dimensions are part of how the round feeds. My go to plinking load is the XTP 200 grainer and 6.5 grains of Unique. We are currently using Missouri Bullet company 185 SWC coated bullets and 3.6 grs. Generally, Hornady XTP's are thought of as an accuracy standard, and the jhp profile more accurate than the round nose. Nosler, Zero and Hornady are all great but Zero gives the most accuracy for the money. Usefulness (Precision) of placement of any loads: 100 from the shooter. 20 from the load (which, as stated above, is probably 80 - 90 bullet and 20 - 10 for the rest). Nosler makes a 185 jhp competition bullet that I like. Grouping (Accuracy) potential of a given load: 80 percent from the barrel / gun. Slow fire is at reduces 50 yard targets at 25 yards. Hornady XTP, 9MM, 100 Count, 124 Grain 35571 29.95 23.26. It seems like most of the Bullseye guys like a swaged lead 185 swc. We, my son and I, shoot bullseye matches in Arizona. I've found this load to be very accurate, but I don't know the velocity. For my home and self defense loads I'm running 6.6 grains under a hornady 185 grain XTP. If you drop the charge to 3.5 grains it will still cycle, but I don't know about power factor. For example, 5.5 grains of powder X gives 1272 rounds per pound and powder Y has a 5 grain weight giving you 1400 rounds (IPSC/IDP logic). I have a couple of questions regarding reloads for Bullseye loads. 4.5 grains of Titegroup with a 230 grain round nose is a good plinking load. High volume shooters will look for the lightest charge weight with the best velocity for their round. You wont get much velocity out of it on 357 magnum. If using one die then turn the body down on the factory case then the seating stem.Īs far as the load goes, you can change primers and powder type and weight for load data. I have chronod several batches of 158 FMJ at 1200 FPS from my DE pistol. ALL Accurate 4100 Accurate 5744 Accurate Nitro 100 NF Accurate No. (if crimping seperately) until it hits the fatory brass. Make sure the die is off the case before you start and run the seating die down until it hits the bullet then run the crimp die I set my dies like that before I was able to measure length on them. 25 February 2012, 19:24 SamIf you can feed the factory length round, you can use a factory round to set your seating die.
