why don't you just use your current loads? they seem to work, where as minor power factor loads may not.

Minor
A Wyatt,
If i can reduce the recoil and over all abause Major loads put on my gun Im for it. Every one else in production uses light loads Min. 125 P.F think I should too. Sastrgui, Crono major loads are at 4.8 Gn T.G 180 JHP at 1.130OAL. 950 FPC. Think 4.2 is a good light load? Regards Mc

McRog,
Thanks for the info............ Have been using 4.0-4.2 of Titegroup w/Berry's 180 RNFP in a Hipower. Has proven to be very accurate, even head shots on IDPA targets @ 20 yds. Don't know what it chronos at though?

Try Rainier 135's with 4.5 grns of Titegroup. Really nice in a for Production in a Glock 35. Feels like 9mm.

I use 3.5g of TG with Zero 180JHP's @ 1.135
They just roll right out of my Glock 35 with the factor recoil rod/spring. Those Beretta'a are sprung pretty light, right? Should work juist fine.

I like 3.5 grains of Titegroup with a 180 grain cast bullet for a reduced load. It should cylce just fine, at about 800 fps. Feels like a 22 after shooting Major.
