Power Pistol Properties and Experiences

[Luggernut]

Well... I just chrono'd some loads with my G34, Power Pistol, WSP, 1.130" COL and 124gr Berrys bullets. I'm very suprised at the volocities I'm getting out the of the Glock compared to my Sig and M&P. Longer barrel makes a huge difference.

6.0gr PP 1211 ft/s ave, 150 PF
5.8gr PP 1170 ft/s ave, 145 PF
5.6gr PP 1132 ft/s ave, 140 PF

I use Power Pistol for my 45acp hunting loads...

7 grains gets 830 fps from a 4.25 in barrel...almost, but not hardly, +P.

Forgot to mention, after 10% overloads didn't do anything, I got really crazy and tried a 20% overload. .40 S&W, Speer brass, CCI primers, 180 gr JHP, and 8.3 gr of Power Pistol. That finally got the primers to look like factory Speer ones.

I really can't see myself ever using anything but Power Pistol and occasionally 800x, in the pistol calibers I shoot.
