Is it me, or does it look like IDPA
shooters use a light load. I hope that is right IDPA. I am new to this type of shooting, and might have said that wrong.
It seems that there recoils is null. Just a slide action. Is this because they have loaded the loads light?

yes you can use OTC ammo, but those that go for every edge will load their own ammo
example .45acp 230gr only needs to be above 718fps http://www.ccidpa.org/idpa-pf.html normal GI 230gr hardball is 850fps Mike |

WWB runs at 1200 fps with a power factor of 138. Because WWB is a light bullet that runs fast, it has a snappy recoil. For me, I run a heavy bullet that has a power factor of 130 power factor. It is softer than WWB and I prefer the lumbering recoil vs the snap.

We have this guy at IDPA who insists on cheating. Nobody really gives him any huff about it since he's just there to mingle.
Anyways, he shoots a 38 revolver and doesn't put any powder in his casings, just uses the primer,,,maybe magnum primers. His pistol has zero muzzle jump, although I'm afraid one of the bullets will bounce off the cardboard one of these days

I've seen single action shooters fire .38 rounds with 3gr of unique and you can almost see the rounds as they hit the targets but they still have powder. The shots sound like .22 subsonics and at long ranges 50 yards or so you kinda have to wait for the ping on steel targes.
