Hit the range for some load development in my g20

6.9 grains
7.2 grains
7.5. Grains

All using power pistol. Open to advice and suggestions. I am used to doing this with a rifle at 200-500 yards not a pistol! All rounds fucntioned perfectly. Recoil felt the same for all loads. Muzzle flash was noticeable at the top end of the loads.

For what it's worth (Not much:) ) IMO the 6.9 load looks better. less side to side mostly vertical. Some touching! Yea (not bad shooting :) )
Just curious, did you change your point of aim on the first target? Maybe because the first ones were high?
I know I do this without thinking about it (and sometimes when I am thinking about NOT doing it) when testing some times.
Shoot, shoot, shoot, rats. I did that here, little low and left aim higher and right to hit center, ooopss did not want to do that......sigh
the group would have been better if I did not change my POA. I tend to think we all want to hit the center and make the adjustments without thinking about it sometimes.

Power pistol makes such a nice flash:evil:
Almost as loud as Longshot in 9mm. (longshot is loud)

Don't know what the min and max for that load combo is but I would be tempted to maybe try 6.7 just for the heck of it.
I shoot paper targets for fun and don't need to make a PF.
The 9mm Titegroup load below is actually about .2 below the start load from Hodgdon. Functions Full size Springfield 9mm 1911.
(shoots really soft by the way)

The first one for sure. Work around that load and skew up and down by 0.1 grains at a time. At the ranges stated, those are some good groups on all of them.
 
7 yards. Two hands standing.
Hornady 180 grain XTP

I'm a leftie so I'm used to having poi high right. :)
 
Personally I can't shoot off hand well enough with a pistol or a rifle to determine the most accurate load.

When working up loads, I try an eliminate as much human error as possible, that means a rest of some kind. YMMV
 
I wish I could at this range. Once I get to my rifle club I will be able to. This was my only option here.
 
IME, Power Pistol gives the best accuracy in the mid-upper spec of the load range. Hard to gauge accuracy at such short range without a rest or sandbags.
