I'm trying to shoot a lighter bullet at 1000 fps or a little more for ICORE competition. I think the lighter bullet will let me get my sights back on target faster.

I jusst casted up 500 Lee 125 grainers from Lynotype and I water dropped them even though they don't need it. I just am in the habbit of wding everything.

These are HARD. I could tell as I ran them through the sizer.

Any ideas on a load that will be accurate and will reach over 1000 fps?

Try 231 in the 5-5.5 range. I use that with great results with the Lee 121 tc 9mm bullet in .38 spl and my .357 rifle.

Bluedot is my go to load for the125 gr Lee. Eight grains will wake that puppy right up!
