I thought I had a sliver of CCI 500's with 40 left. When I pulled it out it was actually full so I though, "Well, I'll just load all 50 then"
My first clue should have been trying to get all of those primers in the Lee feeder but no...just didn't see it.
I loaded up 25 rounds of one powder in my new Starline .32 mag brass and as I switched powders for the next 25...I realized I'd put 100 primers in the feeder.
My first question is:
Is it okay to leave primers in the feeder? I think I read that was bad practice. I certainly didn't want to try and put them back in the CCI sliver they came from.
I decided to just keep loading up ammo. But I hadn't planned for that so I just kept on with the .32 mag and 700x I was already set up for.
The thing is I haven't used 700x in .32 mag at all and was making my own "off book" starter load because I had no book load for 700x and a 100 gr lead flat nose bullet.
So now I have 75 .32 mags with 100 gr flat nose SNS bullets over 3.0 gr of 700x.
Second question: How do ya'll guess that load will turn out?
If they turn out a little warm at least I'm firing them from a Ruger LCR .327 Federal 2 inch snub. Should be safe. I will chrono them and report back.
The rounds look great. Looks like a perfect roll crimp to me. They are loaded a little long at 1.36-1.37 OAL. I believe the official OAL max is 1.350.
