I have been looking for some SD ammo for a short barrel 3" pistol. I see a bunch of short barrel cartridges for sale and the reviews are all over the place so I figured why not do it myself. My goal is to develop a load that would maximize velocity while minimizing flash and felt recoil. Penetration and expansion is also a consideration but I have no real way of testing for that now.
So to start, what powder and projectile do I start with? My first thought is a fast burning powder like Titegroup. For a projectile I was thinking 115 grain or less HP.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
