I tried several loads today trying to find a light load for steel. I am using 200 grain 45ACP lead with VV N320 powder.
At 4.5 the load felt great but the FPS ranged from 720FPS to 800FPS with an average of 746.
At 4.6 grains it was about the same average.
At 4.75 it ranged from 780 to 820 with an average of 801 FPS.
I liked the feel of 4.5 but 4.75 was more consistant. What is an acceptable spread? I mainly shoot steel matches. At some matches they have small diamond plates which are pretty hard to hit. The smaller the spread the better the accuracy?
