If you average $30 a trip, it's only 9,000 trips and you've got a month to do it. So only 300 trips per day for the next month and you'll be good to go.:rofl:

I'm assuming someone must be buying them so they just keep coming out with more and more P365's variants. They can't go smaller so they just keep getting bigger. Maybe a carbine version next year...

Hodgdon has an online reloading tool. They have data for a 100 grain JHP and Titegroup in 32 H&R Mag. Starting charge is 2.8 at 833 FPS and max charge at 3.3 grains for 956 FPS and pressure of 19,900 CUP. There's no way 2.7 grains blew the cylinder in half, sheared the top strap off and...

Cylinder blew, took top strap with it and cracked the frame! That’s not a slight over charge or a little extra pressure from a constricted barrel. Reloads with a fast burning powder were used. If S&W offers any credit I’d consider myself lucky.

17.01% brought Walthers and the most popular model is the Walther PDP-F at 17.23%. I'm not sure how that's possible,

It all depends on the exact guns being used and the ammo being used. Sometimes a shorter barrel will get the same or better velocity than a longer barrel. A 3" .38 Special sounds like a great compromise between size and weight and barrel length.

Yes, if competing at 1,000 yards then 20 FPS SD becomes important. But based on info given in OP any advice will be a shot in the dark.

That's true, but realistically 20 FPS SD isn't "high" for most scenarios. And based of the info given, (basically nothing other than caliber) guessing as to why it's 20 FPS is next to impossible. I just googled "fps sd variance for long range rifle" which lead to link...

SD of 20 is high?

My opinion hasn't changed since the thread with the same name was started back in May.

True, but he's in the same boat with 55 grain subsonic'ish bullets in a AR

If someone want to go real cheap shooting a .22 caliber bullets at subsonic levels you can even get much cheaper and easier than 9mm and not have to spend time loading them if you just go with heavy bullet .22 LR. FWIW I'd skip the filler unless the load data says to use it. .223 case is...

This method will be much easier and quicker. You'd be out much more than $800 to hire a lawyer and file some sort of basic lawsuit.

Field strip is easy. More interesting is the complete disassembly with no tools.

I do a very similar setup but instead of trying to cut the weights I just scrape them on a piece of concrete. The lead will deform easily, while the zinc doesn't really do anything. This is slightly faster than trying to cut. If you're paying attention to the various markings, you should...
