My local Adademy is stocking XTP's and I got lots of No. 9. Time to move to 180 gr!
Have read where the AA manual and Hornady manual have differences, so wanted to see what everyone is doing in this area. Want to try and get at least 1200 fps, maybe 1250 from my stock G20. Note; AA manual states 13.5 gr yields 34,100 psi, so there's room to grow here.
Here's my thoughts.
Brass - Starline
Primers - CCI300/WLP
Powder - No. 9
Bullet - 180gr. XTP
COAL - 1.26"
PACT PC2 Chrony
Proposed Ladder
13.1
13.4
13.7
14.0
14.3
14.6
Thoughts? Velocities? Pressure signs? Thanks!
