I have a Premier II on order. I reload and run 3.7 grains of Bullseye under 200 grain LSWC. Not sure about FPS but likely low to mid 700s. Is this going to be an issue while I break in the new pistol? I have some at 4.2gr and can load up as needed. Obviously, I can wait and try but thought some of you may have more experience.

i have broken in 3 LBs with handloads and it's never been an issue for me. 4.5 Bullseye 230 grain round nose lead.

My pet load is 4.8 of Bullseye with the 200 LWC hard cast. I like 5.o/5.2 with a 230 gr.

Lately I have been loading 4.2 of VIT under the 200 LWC. Very nice especially with a Wilson flat wire recoil spring.

Your P II will be tight so you may have an issue with the light load.

The only thing my PII has eaten is 200 gr plated X-Treme over 6.9 gr Autocomp.

4.8gr of Bullseye with a 200gr SWC is the load shown all the current Wilson Combat test targets and show a velocity of 840fps so I would think that would cycle a new LB without any problems. My PII runs great on either 4.0 gr of Bullseye or VV N310 with a 200gr SWC. Mine has only seen handloads except for about the first 100 rounds.

4.8 Bullseye, 4.8 700X, and 5.3 of 231 and 5.3 of N320 with 200 grain.
Broke it in with those. Never a problem with any of them.

I would go with 4.8 Bullseye,. At least until it is broke in. You want to make sure the reloads will cycle the gun. I broke my P2 in with 5.5gr of 231 with 200gr LSWCs,

I used 200 rounds of Federal 230 RN first, the last 8,000 rounds have been 5.2 gr W-231 and 200 gr Precision SWC. I've never had an issue with my reloads.
Got it August 21st last year.

basically if your reloads dont suck youll be fine

Pretty much.

 

[Pistold]

3.7 seems a bit low. With the heavy spring on Baers, not sure if that will cycle right. Especially on a brand new Baer

Don't Les you're doing this

 

[WilliamB]

I used 3.7 grains of clay under 200gr lswc. Very soft load and extremely accurate in my PII.

But if there are some issues with the gun itself, and you call Les, he will tell you "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR GUN!"

At that point you'll need to run factory ammo for a while to diagnose with him, enough to get past the break-in phase. But if you develop a reload that runs, all good! Keep running them through the break-in and beyond.
