Dear rec.guns readers:
I apologize for my previous post of loads for my .45 ACP;
my memory is worse than I thought, and I had the wrong
bullet listed in my posting! (There is no Hornady 185 gr.
LSWC . . . OOPS!)
You know what they say, the two signs of old age are
FIRST you start losing your memory, and SECOND, uh, um,
I can't remember. ;-)
Here's a poor load for the SIG P-220:
185 gr. Hornady JHP/XTP
5.4 gr. Bullseye
CCI 300 WWC case
OAL = 1.230 in.
This is the load the range officer fired without problem
in his .45 GLOCK.
The worst load of all those I tried is this one:
200 gr. Hornady LSWC (#4526)
5.8 gr. Unique
CCI 300 WWC case
OAL = 1.235 in.
Jammed on almost every round out of 10; slide didn't lock back
on last round. Last night I used the Midway impact bullet
puller to help me replace the powder in the remaining 40 rounds
with 5.1 gr. of HP-38.
Here's one GOOD LOAD for the SIG P-220:
200 gr. Speer JHP ("flying ashtray")
5.5 gr. Bullseye
CCI 300 WWC case
OAL = 1.176 in.
This one produced a couple of 2.5 inch 5-shot group at 50 yards.
As always, you reloaders out there should always consult an
"official" reloading manual before trying any of these loads.
Regards,
Randy Lyman grl@drutx.att.com "I'm the NMLRA!"
