I was wondering what your favorite 309JDJ loads are?

IMR 4350 52.6grs
150gr Noslar Balistic Tip
C.O.A.L. 3.55"

Safe in MY gun. 16" contender gives between 1575 fps 1600fps winter-summer.
1/4 MOA

cas

1575-1600fps???

That's the slowest 309 I've ever heard of! I would think your load would be around 1000 fps faster????

It's the slow that makes 'em shoot so good!

Yeah.. yer right.. had just got done answering a revolver question.. my brain was going slower.

Have had alot of trouble getting my stainless 14" SSK barrel to shoot well (no brake or porting). Have tried BLC2, H4350, IMR 4350, IMR 4064 and RL15. Most all gave alot of muzzle flash and not the best accuracy (3 inches @100yds). This past weekend worked up loads with AA2520 and 165 gr remington PSPCL bullets. With FED210 primers and remington brass, a load of 42.3 grs gave a little more than 1 inch groups (5 shot). Have not had time to chronograph. This is the best group I have ever achieved with this barrel. Hope this helps.
