lostvaquero Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Got playing around with some 38 super to see if could make 150pf and stay under 1000fps. Hornady lead 20 rounds. Avg 970 fps 160g lead bullet. 950 slowest 990 fastest. 152 pf low, 155 pf avg, 158 pf high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Chance Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Nice, thinking about setting up a gun for IPSC? What optics are you gonna run?, or are you going single stack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouchy Spike Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Good info. I've also been bitten by the Super Bug, with 124 gr XTP and 147 gr Cast! That's a bit too hot at 1225 fps and 1025 fps respectively with Power Pistol so I'll reduce the powder. Next powder to try is Bullseye. Local store has no Accurate 7. How much of which powder did you load behind that 160 gr bullet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostvaquero Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Not sure if like the SASS Cowboy wire about reloading data but it was Win 231. More just wanted to see if I could make WB power factor in 1911 in other than 45acp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 wanted to see if I could make WB power factor in 1911 in other than 45acp. Well, a 1911 in 10mm will easily make 150 power factor, even major. 8) WB wire allows loading data. That puts a lot of responsibility on the READER to check that the data makes sense and is safe. I like it that way. Good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostvaquero Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Not looking for IPSC major load. They are out there. More something that I wanted to try. Anyway started at 3.8 g worked up to 4.1g win 231. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Accurate #7 will very easily run a 155 to 160 grain lead slug at 1000 FPS, even up to 1100 FPS according to Lyman Cast Bullet handbook. Win 231 is a little fast burning to be pushing hard under those heavy slugs in .38 Super. In Lyman, they don't even list 231 with 147 grain bullets. Good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
