    Powder Recommendations for my 18.5" barreled Ruger PCC

    I have the Cdn. version of the PCC with the 18.5" barrel. I use Montana Gold 125gr FMJ and Lyman 356402 TC lead bullets. Should I be looking for a fast powder (Bullseye, 700X, Clays, Titegroup) or a slower powder (231, Unique, HS-6, 800X ) to take advantage of the longer barrel. What do you use?

    FYI 4 gr of Titegroup under a 125 gr FMJ Montana Gold is very accurate n my PCC
    4.8 Gr of CFE Pistol under a 125 gr FMJ Montana Gold is very accurate n my PCC

    That is all I tested so far. I am looking to see if there is a known preference Fast vs Mid to Slow range powders in longer barrels. Both of the above work well. I have not shot any lead bullets over my Chrony yet. Running low on primers right now so I figured I might save some time in testing A lot of my old friends on this Forum are now shooting on Heavens Range now so I can't talk to them directly.
