[My(2)Cents]

I am trying to find as much data on the Missouri Bullet IDP #4 - XD. I load only with bullseye powder but others are welcome. I will post when I try out new loads. I am using it for my XD 4".

As I started the popular thread http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=466428&highlight=Missouri+Bullet I thought we should get this one going too!

Yes good thread but not much bullseye info there. and I'm trying to get a safe zone low and high just so I know where the reference is. im thinking that it's 4.0 to 5.0 but thats just a guess at this point.

i use that bullet in my 4" xd and I load 5.5 grains bullseye

I get a bit of leading so next time i'll stop at 5 grains and see what happens. besides that they shoot great

A 200gn lead bullet is a 200gn lead bullet. The COL is determined by your gun. Manuals show the minimum recommended COL. You should go longer.

L-SWC, L-C/T 200 Bullseye 6.3 1000 Max 200

If I was starting out, I would start at 4.0gn and work up to 5.0gn. Make a couple of inert dummy rounds and start at about 1.22" COL. Determine what the longest COL is that fits your magazine and feeds and chambers in your gun.

It looks like some great info but I guess your format got jacked up.

Mbc 200/lrnfp

I use b-eye with 200g lswc (MBC) but find the 200 gr lrnfp more accurate/consistant with 5.0gr Titegroup. Chrono shows Avg vel:784fps, Sd:5fps, & shoots to POA. These readings from SAXD .45 "service" 4" bbl. Primer WLP - Coal 1.227". Stay safe out there! gary

It should still be readable. If not, copy and paste into Excel or other spreadsheet program, using spaces as the delimiter.
Too bad I can't post an Excel file directly.
The important point is looking at the various "start" and "max" loads and how I start with the lowest "start" load and work up. Also, are references to a particular load's applicability.
In this case, the first "start" load is 3.5gn of Bullseye. The even lighter loads are specifically light target loads as used in "Bullseye" competition with lighter recoil springs.
