I am starting down the path of all things IDPA and started learning about power factors.
From the 2023 IDPA rules:
Regardless of what I choose, I still have to meet the 125PF (I know...don't go low. I will be targeting 130 to 135).
So the real question is: Are there advantages to a 147 @ 130PF vs a 115 @ 130PF?
(Also, if this is covered in another thread...I am happy to read that but I did not see one.)
From the 2023 IDPA rules:
As a reloader I have 115, 124, and 147 gr projectiles in my inventory.8.3.4.7 Calculate the power factor by multiplying the bullet weight in grains by the bullet velocity in feet per second
(fps), divide by 1000, and ignore numbers to the right of the decimal. For example, a 230.1 grain bullet at 794.7
fps: 230.1 x 794.7 / 1000 = 182.86047, or 182 power factor.
Regardless of what I choose, I still have to meet the 125PF (I know...don't go low. I will be targeting 130 to 135).
