SW 629 4 inch hand loading question - 09/19/17
Well for the life of me I cannot get much beyond minute of 81/2 x 11 paper out of any unique load with the Missouri 240 LSWC bullets, and I have not had much luck with the 240 grain XTP's all off the bags at 25 yards.
However I can shoot the 240 grain Lead soft points factory loaded WW ammunition into about 4 inches at 25 yards which for me is "ok". I plan on hunting out of a tree stand and the stands have a gun rest so I should be able to hit something out to 20-25 yards. So now its either buy another box of factory loads or buy a pound of powder that might work with the 240 grain XTP bullet.
I have tried H110 but it seems a bit more vigorous than I want to shoot in a smith and wesson, the unique is not shooting well at all for me at different charge weights, someone have a place\powder\load that they have been successful with to start the 240 grain XTP's that shoots decent?
