I am going to do some testing in the next few weeks of load data recommended by Colonel Jeff Cooper and the only way I know to judge the potential of a load is to test it and test it some more. I plan to load 1000qty lot of 38 specials using his data, for the moment I will not list the data as it shut down my other thread as it is not accepted by load data industry authorities of our current time. I plan to set up a ch auto champion press and load one last time before I remove it from my bench to make room for other hobbies.
I have loaded around 50 pounds of red dot in 12 gauge trap loads when shotgun games were my thing in high school. I know those loads were 20 grains or less being dispensed from a variety of mec progressive presses without issue.(I am away from load data so pardon any mistakes)
I figured someone has tried and they may save me frustration by offering insight.
I need to know the following
- how does the powder meter in a fixed cavity slide type powder measure in 5 grains or less settings?
- wi the powder in these small settings require vibrations ensure accurate metering? I have found an adult toy attached to the powder measure when feeding Unique ensures powder charges with 1/10th of a grain...... I get odd looks by visitor's at my shop but my 45 colt loads are awsome lol.
Thanks THR for your help
