It was brought up about tapping the Lee Perfect Measure at each end of the handle throw to get better accuracy. This does work and it is sometimes as much as .5 grains more than just doing the throw.
2nd thing I noticed today is that the powder housing will tend to close off as you are using...
Loading up some more case and have some Speer nickle plated in standard and +P markings.
About one in 6 primers did not want to seat fully and/or would pop while seating and a small sliver of brass would be in the priming tool.
Using a Lee Turret Press in single stage mode (removed the...
.454 Casull Swift A Frame 325gr hollow point.
Swift Data shows IMR-4227 starting at 27.9gr and maximum at 30gr.
I started at 28gr and maxed at 29.8gr.
The cases were awful full and I'm pretty sure they were compressed even at start load. The Lee press didn't struggle to load them...
I have some W231 as well. Have a couple more steps up for the 700-X.
Going to do 2 of the Clays and 2 of the 700-X again after I shoot the hotter 700-X loads.
I wanted to start out lighter than factory and work my way past it some which is what the 2 powders did for me. Seems like mid range...
Loaded some Clays and 700-X behind some 230gr LRN and finally got to run it through the Ruger SR1911.
Several things noticed:
700-X is smokier than Clays
700-X is noticably snappier than Clays
My best groups were with Clays 3.8gr, 700-X 4.6gr and 4.8gr.
Clays very mild and quite...
Have a hex Mosin and removed the rear sight down to the dovetail. Found some rings for mounting a scout scope and the thing is an absolute TACK DRIVER for about 5-10 shots. Then the scope has been pounded forward by the recoil. Reset it twice and both times would slide forward after a few shots...
I haven't shot my loads, yet, but used Clays And 700-X. Gave me a spread from about 700-900 fps with 230gr LRN. Waiting on the rain to try in my Ruger 1911.
