Someone I know, not ME, at my local gun club is using a load of
2400 behind a 125gr jacketed bullet with a standard primer of
17.5 grains of 2400, I looked that up and every reloading manual
I have(11 of them) show a top end safe pressure level with a lot
to a little less powder in this loading. Anyone have any further
information? When this fellow touched that load off it hurt MY
ears through my hearing protection muffs. I suggested that he
dial it back some or get some Buffalo Bore loads if he wanted
something suitable for hunting in that grain bullet, he wants his
stepdaughter to use her GP100 for short range shots at whitetail,
she's an excellent and steady shooter so I'm less concerned about
the suitability of the cartridge for deer than the load itself, her GP100
has had a great trigger job and wears some Hamilton Bowen rear
sights and groups with more reasonable loadings, very well.
