Lee dies on the way for my 4-hole Turret press. (I use 3-die carbide sets)
Recieved 1k pieces fired & cleaned nickel brass. I haven't inspected many. But those were Winchester, from very little bulge to considerable, but probably not excessive bulge.
No bullets, yet. Will probably order .401" coated 165 gr or 170 gr FN.
Gun is a Beretta PX4 full size.
I'm going to lube the cases by putting the light Frankford Arsenal spray lube on my gloved hands and stirring the brass.
I'll inspect the brass and toss those with "smiles" or other major disfigurement. I don't like the idea of "bulge busters" and hope I don't have to resort to that. I'll use my PX4 barrel as my guide.
I want to make loads that are accurate, but just enough to cycle the gun. No KB!
Suitable powders I have:
CFE-P, HP38, Titegroup, 700X.
I'm thinking HP38.
I haven't decided how many times I should reload these or even worry about it. Hopefully they are easy to find on the ground.
So far so good?
