Hi guys. One more question.
And I'm not questioning the start low and work up. I get it.
However, the starting load is where. Am a little confused. I know a lot of you guys say to use berrys load data at 3.6 grains for an extreme plated bullet.
However, on the xtreme website, they say
- Our Copper Plated Bullets can be run at mid-range jacketed velocities or higher end lead velocities. We do not recommend velocities over 1500 FPS (Feet Per Second) and only a light taper crimp.
And the bullet diam is .355.
So wouldn't that be more of a match to the Sierra fmj load data? From the hogdon website for load data that would be a starting load of 4.1 grains.
Again, I'm just trying to understand and I really appreciate all the detailed information you guys have provided, you guys are awesome.
I haven't had a chance to shoot any of the bullets I loaded yet, but I'm wondering with the Sierra fmj load data (4.1 grain starting load) if I will stick a bullet at 3.4 grains. Obviously I would like to avoid that.
Pistol is m&p shield by the way.
Thanks again!
