Usp45 handloads

[USP4USPSA]

Hey yall! Just wondering if anyone else handloads for a USP45 and what you're running and how's the accuracy.

Just tried 4.6gr of titegroup with a berrys 230gr fmj over it @ 1.200 OAL...didn't hold what I was looking for. I may need to increase the powder. Thoughts and input welcomed!

I got best accuracy in my USP 45 and HK45 with JHP's, try the Hornady 185 HAP or XTP. I also use Blue bullets 200 grain coated SWC with very good results and at a good price.

Never got great accuracy with anything FMJ shaped. The cone or SWC shape shoots better. Your HK will cycle any bullet shape, so you can experiment.

You're right.
I tried some 230 lead truncated nose in my USP Elite and saw better groups.
I need to get a box of plated TCN's and really do some shooting to see if they are better or if that day was just a fluke.
