With the opening of a new indoor range 15 min from me a month ago, I am able to shoot more and play with different loads.

I love Trail Boss in my revolvers for light target loads, but it felt wrong to shoot such a light load in my Warrior. Fun, but wrong. I used 3.5 gr under a 200 LSWC. The slide cycled a round reliably every time just did not lock the slide back when the mag was empty. Very accurate at 7yds. Great for someone learning to shoot. I am going to keep a few hundred on hand for my wife and kids.

I dont know about your gun BUT my AMT longslide will function perfectly with 200gr LSWC with 3.6 gr 700X.and is accurate to 50 yds.
:D:rolleyes:

I am limited to 25 yds indoors and my normal load of 5.3 gr of 231 works just fine. I was just surprised that it felt so light and still cycled.
