I notice a lot of shooters are using SWC bullets for target practice or competition. What is the advantage of SWC over ball ammo? Is it cost? Accuracy?
I know I will probably start reloading in a few months. I want to shoot IDPA and am curious about the wisdom behind bullet choice.
I am disabled (severe arthritis -- in my hands no less...) and am able to shoot around 50 rounds of .230 ACP ammo before I start to develop enough pain to know its about time to quit.
I know that most IDPA shoots are 90 rounds.
I will need to build ammo that is light enough to permit me to finish all the 'strings', but powerful enough to be accurate and qualify to be shot in the first place.
I also know that this is a difficult line to walk -- balancing accuracy and qualification against recoil reduction so I can compete.
If I have to choose, I will choose the heaviest load I can shoot safely, naturally.
Any advice?
Also, what does LSWC mean?
thanks,
gary
