10 grains of 2400 will certainly prevent overcharging the case, but it might to that to your wallet!
I started with Red Dot, but wanted less smoke. I have used 231 and WST with success; more so the latter because - until October - it was cheaper per pound
AND used a tad less powder per charge. Both meter well, both are clean and both will do a good job for you.
I'm using 4.3 grains of WST under a 180 grain poly-coated truncated cone bullet.
If I want to pretend I'm serious, I'll load up my 180 gr. JHP's with Vihta Vuori N 350. I bought an 8# jug to feed the race gun with while waiting for 3N38 to come in, and found a load on Jeff Maas' old site using it.
My loads are designed to "make major" (165 PF) in USPSA, in a double-stack gun. Read: "long-loaded." I also use Small
RIFLE primers in all my small primer loads; it isn't worth the trouble to stock both SP and SR. SR's do everything SP primers do, with a greater margin of safety. It simplifies inventory, which is A Good Thing.
Do
NOT start with my loads; use the minimum shown in the manual
s and work your way up!!!
