Couple ICORE ???

I am planning on showing up for the next ICORE match. Does anyone have a good holster recommendation for my 627 vcomp? I bought a blackhawk $10.00 holster thinking it would work until I get the hang on things, but the gun doesn't fit it.

Also what kind of loads are you all shooting? I am practicing with 158gr SWC's but I also have 125gr RN's I can load. Right now my power factor is about 125, should I try to bring that down closer to 120?

One more question, how many rounds should I bring with me?

Thanks

I have a holster you can use I forget the make and I have another in cr speed. 125 is fine and it's what I use with 158 Grain the gamers will say to bring it down. No more than 125 rounds. 4 to 5 stages

noone has any loads that they wanna share do they? my 158gr lswc and unique combo was leading very bad even once i slowed it down. I have been working up a load with blue dot, i am almost there, and no leading problems. my average was 745fps some were in the 800s and 1 in the 600s so I think I am having a burning problem with blue dot. could be my powder measurer too since i haven't been weighing every load.

crappy thing is i have about 250 rounds loaded with the unique load that is leading... i hate to pull that many bullets but it is looking like i will have to...

I'm using "I think" like 3.8 gr of tight group with berry lead or plated 125's I have never chronoed them but they seem to work pretty good. we are shooting them in a 4" taurus a 6" ruger and a 2" j frame.
