    I use 200 grain bullets from GAT Bullets in Thibodaux. 4.2 grains of Winchester Super Target. Makes major power factor in my Edge.

    Major or minor power factor? Your OAL will depend on gun/mags. I like 180gr bullets and VV N320 powder. 200gr bullets feel slugish to me. Takes more time to get back on target between shots but preceived recoil will be less. As far as bullets I like bayou bullets and xtreme bullets.

    I use 200 grain Ibejiheads (200 grain Bayou Bullets don't flip well in the bullet feeder for me) with Ramshot competition. Uses same data as VV320 but not so many dollars. And I've used same load for both Glock 24 and 2011.

    It's only a little difference in my opinion between 180 and 200 but I've always liked the heaviest bullet for whatever caliber I'm shooting.

    My pet loads 180gr bayou bullet with 4.7gr n320 @1.180 and 180gr xtreme with 5.0gr n320 @1.180 both give me 170 PF.
    Another powder I like is ETR7 4.8gr for bayou and 5.0gr for xtremes 180gr bullets loaded @1.180. I have found both very clean. I'm no expert so as always start lower and work up with chrono.
