what ammo? ?
« on: February 02, 2008, 02:04:14 PM »

so far I am only handloading rifles and am wondering what y'all have found shoots best in your 40p.  Any particular bullet weight that perfomrs more accurately than others?

For factory ammo I usually favor 165 gr bullets. In reloading I have had good results with both 165 and 180 gr JHPs and FMJs over Power Pistol in my .40 caliber CZs. I also use Titegroup to load lower power 170 gr lead SWCs (approx. 760 fps, approx.130 power factor) for IDPA and steel shooting with good results. Note: for the lower power loads I use a 12 lb recoil spring instead of the 18-22 lb ones I choose for full power loads.
The bold type giveth, the fine print taketh away.

In my experience, my full size CZ 75B shoots the best with the 180gr rounds.  My compacts and my RAMI seem to prefer 155gr rounds.

I am not reloader myself. From experience though Magtech for me works the best. Now it is a little more expensive. Though I seem to have FTF problems with Winchester, or Remington. Magtech I have no problems. Magtech has a smaller head spacing also. It also is a cleaner ammunition. Some guns are just very tollerant on what you shoot. Kinda off topic but here is an example. If I shoot cheap dirty ammunition through my .22 auto I will have FTF problems. Yet if I shoot a qulity ammo like CCI I have no problems.
