Range report on the loads that I worked up. The 5.7gr loads were starting to help with reliable slide cycling, so on to the next loads that I decided to load at 6.0grs. Well this load seemed to do the trick, I had reliable cycling and the rounds were very accurate. As I don't have access to a...

These can be berrys bullets but I load a lot of .40 S&W and I started when they just listed the XTP data and I worked my loads up from there. All I load in .40 is HS-6 and my current load is 6.3grs with a COL of 1.125 and it is by no means a bunny fart load. I have loaded to 6.7 grs and although...

Funny you mention that because I checked the load data for HS-6 which is what I load for .40 and it was way over what I currently load so maybe its not for berrys bullets Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for the heads up, I guess that's a start but I wish they would include more of Berry's most popular bullets. I checked the 9mm and the 45 but not anything listed so far.

I also use HP-38(W231) in my 9mm, but for .40S&W I use HS-6 and really like that a lot.

bds, thanks again for the link, that was some good info for these bullets and HP-38 (W231). Well tomorrow I will work up some loads and try to get to the range on Monday night. I will load some test loads up with 5.7gr and 5.9gr and see how these work out in my guns. I also shoot at an...

Ya, last night when trying those loads,I had a couple of single shot semi autos :eek: Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Thanks, that's good info, Bds, thanks for the detailed info, it looks like I will be at about 5.7 to 5.8gr to get things to cycle properly. Do you think that this load will be ok? What did you end up at? I thought that the hollow base was supposed to increase pressure due to the expansion in...

The two guns that I tried are my 3rd Gen S&W's a 4566TSW and a M457 which is a compact 45. I really don't want to lower the spring rate as I also shoot full power loads, and I wouldn't know where to get them for these older models. I am thinking of trying 5.7gr to see if this works. I know...

I was hoping to get a little help with loading these new bullets. I currently load the 200gr swc and 230gr rn and decided to try these 185gr hbrn. I am loading 5.4 gr of hp-38 to col of 1.25 and a crimp dia. of .470, and these shoot fine in my guns. Now last night I tried the 5.4 gr with the...

I use mine all the time and it works great, however I did have a problem with mine not working correctly so I took it all apart and cleaned it good and have not had any problems since. Just be careful when taking apart those little ball bearnings have a way of wanting to roll away, :what:. As...

+1 on the RCBS Lockout die, when I first started loading, I had a squib in the first couple of weeks, my issue I believe was a very low charge weight, when I was working up some new loads for the first time. After that I bought the lockout die and am very conscious of looking into each case as...

Yes you find more MFG's are using SPP in the .45ACP and you will need to sort these out when it comes time to reload. As far as sorting brass by brand, I don't do it and load mixed brass all the time. If it's LPP I load it and shoot it, :) and load it again.

I load a lot of .45 ACP and when working up my loads using the Hodgon data it wasn't working very well. I think I started at 4.6 and did loads in .2 gr increments. I finally ended up at 5.3/5.4grs of HP-38 and this was the most accurate and reliable in my guns, S&W 4566TSW and a Springfield...

Well I was only loading the XTP because I received them for free. I load berrys and not a problem with those no matter which brass I use. Just will keep it in mind and glad I caught this issue. All of my reloads are for plinking, thanks for the help Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
