I've pared down my loads to running 124 gr Precision Delta JHPs over 4.9 grains of N340 @ 1.09" OAL. Usually use Speer brass and CCI 500 primers. Very accurate, soft enough for competition, and strong enough to take down steel easily.
This load will run in any gun I own, including the one with the shortest throat (CZ Shadow).
#1 is what I use, great load. Tried to find a powder I liked as much as VVN320, Ramshot competition comes close, but N320 still wins. For slightly greater accuracy, same bullet with VVN340.Originally Posted by JV
I tried N340. In order to get decent ES/SD numbers, I had to get the velocity up to 1150 - which was warmer than I wanted.
Has anyone come up with a load that duplicates their carry load? Not just in velocity, but also perceived recoil impulse?

Yes, for perceived recoil. I don't care if the velocity matches.
I've thought about switching powders but I just opened my last 4lb jug of Bullseye so I'm going to wait until I run through that.
I considered Solo1K but I haven't seen it around here. I've been thinking of switching to WST. It's a fast-burning powder, but a lot of USPSA shooters around here use it with cast and moly bullets.
Thanks JV. Which load (referencing the OP I assume) and what carry load does it duplicate, if I may ask?
Ignore Alien Orders
I look for two things to match when working up a reload that duplicates my carry ammunition. Recoil and POA/POI. Velocity & bullet weight has a lot to do with the later.

I use 4.3 or 4.4 of TG behind a 124. If you don't have any, I'd also consider using Power Pistol.
