Marshall Stanton of Beartooth Bullets publishes a load for his 185 grain WFNGC Hardcast bullets. Look it up on his website if you're interested.

It's a very hot load. I've shot a few of these in my GP-100 and it didn't blow up but I wouldn't go any further with it and probably won't ever use it because if I need a load that hot, I'll carry my Redhawk 45 instead.

It averages 1293 fps out of my 4 inch GP-100.

With the 180 grain Missouri Bullet, I get 1319 fps with the same load.

Do not use this load for the XTP. It's a hardcast load.
