Up to now, all of my pistol loadings are "full power", so as to better simulate my chosen carry ammo.
There are times that a lower recoiling target loading is more appropriate though, and I don't have one.
My requirements for this loading, in order, are:
Availability of components
Makes IPSC major power factor
Moderate recoil
Decent accuracy
Powder should meter well and be clean burning
So I did some research and looked at the choice in components I have available in this time of scarcity, and made some selections.
Primer: Wolf LP
Powder: Winchester Super Target (WST)
Bullet: Precision Delta 230 gr FMJ
Case: Mixed
Looking forward to working this up.
Here's the load data from Hodgdon:
