Thanx,

see above, thank you very much for this info, I don't have a chrony and was wondering what charge would make the necessary IDPA power factor

2" @ 10 yards freestyle over the chrony.
Good enough for IPSC production

So...Considering that I will be loading with the very same components and over-all-length (except I'll be using Federal primers), I'm really curious as to how things went with the 4.6 grain load.

Awesome post by the way...I'm VERY new to loading and this is exactly what I was looking for!

Still in this neighbourhood.

Be making some up with Federals soon and may try 4.8 as well,
Keep you posted.

WoW! 4.8gr...That's getting up there! Being new to this handloading thing, I was nervous to squeeze the trigger on my 4.1gr loads (same bullet over HP-38 @1.100" OAL). I've since worked up to 4.4gr and feel quite comfortable with it.

Thanks for the data...Keep us posted on that 4.8gr load!

Cheer!
