ok..will toss first 50 I made.. and lower powder charge and reseat lower

these bullets don't have a crimping groove?

these bullets are copper plated... any other ideas? should I lower the grains to 4.3 maybe as the book says?

using 38brass I got the OAL from the lyman book for a round nose 148gr bullet ..it lists 4.3grains of bullseye for the 148gr round nose bullet but only gets it to 715fps

My Lyman book has a simular weight bullet at 4.3grains of bullseye, however it was listed only at 715fps... so I figured the extra .7 grains would get it up to at least 800fps.. it might be in the +P load range..however I am using it in a .357 gun

will this be enough to get the rear cone to expand into the lands? the MFG website is useless and has no load information

Hi Guys, made my first 38spl loads.. (using in a 357 gun) cam pro 148g HBWC bullets (flat nose bullets with cone rear) 5grains bullseye powder med crimp, 1.470 OAL I had to guess a bit on how much powder since my book did not have this specific bullet..however the bullet box said...

please ignore..I see a post just below on this subject ...

Hi guys, so I am reloading 9mm and 30-06 now very well, and just got a S&W 19-3 .357 revolver and want to reload .357 and 38spl now. when reloading .357 and 38spl..do you have to crimp the shells to the bullets? any other tips for .357 and 38spl?

me and my buddy just bought a Tikka T3 light in stainless in 30-06 so far it shoots nice...I will be putting a recoil pad on mine great gun for the money

YEP..200 was too many ... It took me forever to shoot them off in my 92f

Hi Guys, so I tried my first 200 9mm loads and they sucked...95%+ did not eject I am using 124gr round nose bullets, with 5.8gr of HS-6 the brass kept getting stuck in the ejection port, to me it looks like the slide was not cycling back far enough.. 5.8grs was the lowest starting...

I have been using the powder charge and then measuring each one after... it has been throwing 46.7, 46.8, 47.1 46.9 is that close enough? how close is close? for just target shooting?

Yeah I will stick with the lower end 47grains and see how that goes... one thing i noticed with this powder vs my hand gun powder (HS-6) is that the handle of my lyman powder measure is very hard to turn, and feels like its grabbing... vs my handgun loads using 4.8grs of HS-6 the handle...

Thanks for the quick replies guys new to reloading , so I just want to make sure that I am doing things correctly
