This load/lot# produced a best 5-shot group at 25 yards from my pistol fired by Roy of GGI off a sand-bag rest of 1.17" CTC. It produced several groups in the 1.5" area.

G31 should launch them about 20-30fps faster due to the better sealing poly rifling. Which load are you using? 54234 or 53918?

Same HP design, i.e. same number of petals?

Wow, thanks 12ga! I was shooting the 53918 and Iam totally comfortable with its accuracy and reliability in my G31. I love all that bullet nerd lab junkie stuff.

If I was going to use a Gold Dot in .357Sig I'd get the Buffalo Bore 125gr'er. I believe it's NOT the XXX18 bullet, but they push it to 1430fps out of a real gun (not a test barrel).

Ever chronograph it? What did it turn and from which weapon, if not your G31?

I might try some. Right now I am between college and a job, and so my funding is nil right now. Give me another month or so and I should begin to once again do cool stuff
