I have been looking at load data and have seen 158gr SWC with 5gr Titegroup as the listed max. I have 158gr "pugnose" bullets that I plan to work up with TG and HP-38 for my 4.2" GP100.
I have not been able to find data for those powders and 190gr LFN bullets, but the closest I have found is 180gr Partitions with a 6.1gr max with Titegroup. What is the consensus on Titegroup with the heavier lead bullet and working up from about 4 or 4.5gr of Titegroup or HP-38?
I don't need or want barn burners, just a load that will have adequate smack out to about 40 yards for deer. I also have 158gr XTP and JSP I use in a Contender 360DW, but want to keep the GP100 as a lead only gun.
