I just picked a box of the Xtreme 135gr from my lgs because they were out of the 124's. In looking thru my manuals and data sheets, the nearest data for W231 I could find is on the Hodgdon web site.
Berry's 130gr RN 1.150 oal, start 3.9gr vel. 903, max 4.3gr 1005 vel.
After doing a plunk test my max oal is 1.145 so I settled on 1.135 for my oal. I think I should start at 3.5gr and work up to a max of 4.0gr. I would like to hear what all of you think.
If you have other powder suggestions I would like to hear that too. All I am looking for is soft plinking loads, not trying to make any power factor.
The pistol is a Taurus PT-809, 4" barrel, 1:9 twist.
Thanks
Russell
