Don’t have a favorite Wild Bunch Load yet, I still have a bunch of IPSC/USPSA/IDPA loads to burn through. Most of it is W231 with an H&G 68 200gr LSWC, this is older ammo I have relegated to practice ammo.
I have also used Clays and N310. I think you’ll find clays one of the most popular powders today because of cleanliness, accuracy and cost per load; when you shoot 20,000 to 50,000 rounds a year powder cost is a major factor. In the old days it was Bullseye and W230, then W231 when it came along.
If I was loading fresh I would probably consider a 225 to 230 grain round nose with a nice load of Clays for smokeless loads. I have a load that makes even the old power factor of 175 and is very accurate. Anymore it’s a power factor of 165 so a lot more shooters use 230 RN than they did 30 years ago for IPSC loads. But, knowing me I’ll probably be goofy and shoot 3f with a 225 grain RN “just because”…Well actually because it almost wouldn't seem right to be shooting Cowboy with "smokiless powder." I guess I have to do a mental reset and remember this is Wild Bunch we're talking about. Just as long as I don't see a Kydex holster, If I see someone wearing one of those I just might have to go ballistic home.
