200gr Frontier IPSC Major Loads?

Note that your OAL will make a big difference. If you load long (say 1.200") then your charges will need to be above book to make a desired velocity. Loading long also has the effect of lowering peak pressures.
 
Ok,, I ended getting to 4.1 gr of Titegroup and loaded to 1.12". I chrono'd 5 rds and came up with an avg vel of 856 fps. That came to a power factor of just over 171.

The recoil felt very soft compared to the Win white box 165gr fmj that chrono at 1156 fps with a FF of about 174.

It felt just as mild as an 175 gr Excel lead bullet load that had PF of 164.

Accuracy was good, holding the A zone at 25 metres with ease.

Good call. It's definitely going to be nicer feeling than those 165 factory rounds.
Keep an eye on your primers for pressure and watch closely for double charges;
Titegroup can double charge easily in 40 and will result in a new top end - even on a 2011.
