Hey guys
I checked all over this forum for an answer to my question(s) before posting these questions.
I'm brand new to the handgun competiton sports but not to shooting or reloading. I plan to enter a USPSA match next month. I plan on using my duty SA XD45. and shoot in either/or the Production/Limited10 classes.
I've been reloading Berrys plated 230gr. RN over 5.5 Grs. of Unique. Berrys bullets have kinda gone over the top with their lead surcharge. Because of cost, I'm considering reloading 230 gr. hardcast bullets. The XD45 according to popular opinion doesn't function real well with semi-wadcutter bullets, so I will be sticking with roundnose bullets.
Would either the 230gr. RN plated or hardcast work for both practice and competition?
Would either bullet type place me at a disadvantage in competition?
Because of the cost factor, can I go just with the hardcast bullets for both practice and competition?
For consistancy sake, can I use the same powder weight charge for practice/competition?
Thanks
Randy
