I have no problem on dropping the the bullet on the gauge die whatsoever.

Okay! I have make 7 dummy rounds and I did the test on puting the rounds through the weapon. I have the same C.O.L. 1.125" doing the same things 8 times.... No setback at all......:) also I check the diameter of the bullet and is a .422" the same on all of them... I will try them over the...

This is great thank so much for the tip. I will definitely will do this tonight! The limit movement from the bullet seated should be .005" thanks everyone...!

The flare that I do on the case is very small, I do a single reload one at the time I have to check the size of the case mouth when I get home tonight with out crimping it. And see what will be the size of the case mouth. The wall tension that is create when the bullet is seated, it almost...

I just start reloading .40 S&W. Right now I start up with a Berry's 165 gr bullets. Hard to find data and able to understand how a plated bullet will work once is been fire on a weapon. Now that I have make some Rounds with a 700x powder. my question is. "Do I need to crimp or not....?" The...

How do you get that data?

@Walkalong than you for the link I have never see the data before very good, I will print it for my reloading book. BTW Laser-cast bullets from Oregon have Data I will call them and see of I can get a PDF for the .40 S&W

Thank you all. I have read about loading plated with hard lead bullet data but some people don't recommend it. An some cases you will increase the pressure specially with 700x and Red Dot powder. That's why I will like to find data more trustable data. Hodgdon has data with Berry's bullet 165...

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone have any information on reloading .40 S&W with a copper plated bullets from Berry's. I have 4 manuals and I can't fine any information on reloading Red Dot with a 165 gr. plated bullets. If anyone can put me on the right direction I will appreciated...

The Data I got it from a Hornady book 9 edition and Nosler book the new edition 7th edition. I use them on a bolt action rifle. I just don't understand why companies test bullets with the same specs and they get totally diferent results from everyone else in General... Lyman book 49th edition...

Why is the Hornady55 gr V-Max using powder data from H335 starts at 20.8 gr. Min to 23.2 Max. The Max velocity is at 3100 fps. On Nosler Varmageddom 55 gr. FB Tipped using the same powder H335 starts at 23.00 gr. min at 2920 fps to 25.00 gr. Max, with a velocity of 3140. Really doesn't...

I totally agree with you. BUCK460XVR, is not on a handgun rifle. I will re-post this on a reloading side.. Thank you everyone.

The Data is from Nosler book and Hornady.. The profile is the same!

Why is the Hornady55 gr V-Max using powder data from H335 starts at 20.8 gr. Min to 23.2 Max. The Max velocity is at 3100 fps. On Nosler Varmageddom 55 gr. FB Tipped using the same powder H335 starts at 23.00 gr. min at 2920 fps to 25.00 gr. Max, with a velocity of 3140. Really doesn't...
