Hey all, wanted to run something by you before I start putting test loads together. I was looking at recipes, but something seems strange. I found two loads with XTP bullets, and adjusted out the .005” length difference between those and the X-treme bullets I’ll be using to keep case volume the same.

One calls for 10.8-12.1 grain of power pistol at 1.253” OAL. The other shows 12.2-12.6 gn of power pistol at 1.245” OAL.

It was concerning that the shorter round had the higher charge. Do those seem reasonable?

I’m thinking of starting with 11 gn at 1.25” and moving up in .1 gn increments. Does that sound about right?
