I haven't shot IPSC/USPSA for over a decade and would like to get back into it, specifically the Production division. The idea is to use what I have so I have a Glock 21 that should fill the bill. I use 200gr plated RN from WestCoast Bullets and I have a jug of Hodgdon Titegroup sitting around.

Does anyone know approx. how many grains of TG behind a lead/plated 200gr to make minor PF?

Thanks!

3.5 with a 200 gr LSWC = 690 fps. You will need a 12# Wolf spring. Your stock barrel will work just fine.

Great! I have lots of H&G 68's sitting around and the 12lb Wolf spring.

Thanks,

I run 4.6g titegroup with 200 gr fp Rainier in my wifes g21 and get 725fps. It is a nice soft and accurate load for her to shoot.

I have not used Titegroup in 45 ACP but my two favorite lead bullet loads are:
185 gr. Styar LSWCHP - 3.8 gr. HS-700x - RLP = ca. 710 fps
200 gr, Speer LSWC - 3.6 gr. Clays - RLP = ca 720 fps
