I recently accidentally (somewhat on purpose) won an auction for a Ruger PC Carbine on GB and it should be arriving in the next few weeks. I already load 9mm, but am interested in working up a load with the 165gr X-treme plated bullets in this rifle for when my pistol can finally gets out of jail.
There doesn't seem to be much load data out there for the 165's, and I'm curious if anyone has some experience or good loads they'd be willing to share to give me a jumping off point.
So far I've heard 2.8gr of titegroup and 3gr of WST mentioned. The velocities on those seem to be ~780 fps out of 5" pistols, I'm a bit concerned about sticking a bullet in the bore of a carbine and wonder if there are any other established combinations that might give a bit more velocity.
