Thanks Dudedog posted this for me. I am working up some loads for my daughter for Steel Challenge and didn't want to blow stuff up. I understand I have to get the bullet out of the barrel and it needs to be able to hit the target accurately I was told on Facebook in a reloading group to watch going below the minimum recommend loads in the books.
I have found a few loads that Katie likes thanks to Dudedog I message him a lot thanks for the help Dudedog but if I can slow them down some more and I can I am sure. I have a load with BE 86 4.3 Gr under a 124 GR Extreme bullet doing around 1050 she likes it and I think it makes power factor. I loaded some 115 GR Blue bullets with HP 38 at 4.1 and ended up with a velocity of around 1050 if I remember right. The website shows 4.7 at 1050 I even loaded them longer by a little longer. I know power factor is not needed for Steel but she shoot an open gun at the USPSA match this weekend in Piru and really like it.
Playing around with this stuff is fun. Just trying to be as careful as I can.
