I Haven’t yet tried 244 in .357, interested in this thread. Any chrono data ? Most of my 244 testing in other calibers showed Vavg very close to...
Sweet! I have 2, 5 and 7 but probably should add 9 to the shelf.
I’d be interested to hear what they respond with, but with regards to your primer pictures I don’t see anything wrong with them. I’m not sure...
My first step with any new bullet is to determine max and working COL for the cartridge. You may find your current working COL would be ok for...
Perhaps you could tell us what primers and post a picture of before and after? I use CCI 500 and don’t see that. Also, have you check for...
Just curious, where does that standard come from?
Soft lumber in TN? That’s pretty amazing they didn’t deform in any appreciable way other than swaged in the barrel. I’ll pick up bullets in the...
@perryjosh, welcome to THR! I’d definitely reduce the charge with the magnum primer, but can’t offer any help on a specific quantity. If it were...
I did not understand that distinction, thank you! The dies I have are .38/.357, I guess I’ve never looked for .357 specific dies.
In-line Fabrication quick change plates for the presses, Ergo handle for the Hornady LNL. 3D printed drop tubes for the LNL. A lot of people like...
There’s no difference. The RCBS dies I bought long ago came with a thick spacer. Once the dies are adjusted for .38, add the spacer for .357....
Actually, that’s how I do it. It’s load development, so it’s not many rounds. I’ll take the case out after the non-powder drop, weigh it, dump a...
Yes it does. You have to decide how much you want to spend on safety devices. I know I’m capable of making mistakes, including but not limited...
Check out the Dillon powder check, it does rile and pistol. https://www.dillonprecision.com/powder-check_8_120_23805.html
Glad to hear you’re sorting things out. Unless you have a chronograph it’s difficult to know what your V is. The published data I have for AA#5...
I prefer the lock out die or the Dillon powder check. I also visually verify a powder charge even though I have the powder checks. I found it...
I used Hodgdon online for my testing, but it was for a pistol, not a PCC. I’m interested in what you come up with!
I started with a rockchucker jr, now my son has it. I liked it enough, and I like quality, that I bought another rockchucker. I’m not...
From the bullet torture test you posted I think the coating is in good shape. I try to look on the bright side of things, and if leading (if...
@Byla, welcome to THR! It’s your time, methinks only you can answer that. Personally I don’t weigh bullets other than a QC check when I get them...
Separate names with a comma.
