Even as little as 1gn of any Pistol powder will get the bullet out of the barrel. A squib in a standard handgun is always a lack of powder or...
Start at lowest start load from multiple sources. Given two manuals, you’ll find variations. It is all in the mix of components (and lot numbers)...
Safety first--start at lowest start load and work up. I show 3.8gn start load with max load ranging from 4.3-5.0gn.
Playing with COL for accuracy makes some sense. I know that in all my pistols that the longest COL that feeds and chambers tends to be very...
Load data is only if all components and lot numbers are the same. Start loads are where you start so component mixes won't cause immediate issues....
Of course, I'll take sooty cases any day for better accuracy. I'll take unburned powder on my arm for better accuracy. The goal is to hit the...
231/HP38 gives best accuracy in my 45s. Titegroup and coated bullets don't always get along. So far, this powder does not give me tightest groups...
Coated lead = lead, nothing special. Look for powder company data. Get a Lyman lead bullet manual. Use more case mouth flare and, after seating...
COL doesn't effect pressure by much. A few hundred psi to maybe 2000 psi depending. When you change COL, re-work load. Are you saying you want...
2400 is more versatile. It is also, on average, more accurate in the old standard magnums.
After you've used an RCBS media separator for about 30 years, cost doesn't enter in to it very much.
Dead is dead Bones are hard and skulls are harder and rifle rounds have a lot of energy (35 yards) and it all got dumped in the beaver (25 lbs). A...
My two cz-75s have throats just like my p08s, p38s, bhps, and S&W. Never noticed any difference. Plunk Testing: The solution to chambering...
Really surprised if you can prove any improvement, but I'll be excited to read about it. I've fired a p-210 and could get groups of 2-3" at 25...
Wow, going through a lot of effort for something known to have no real effect on accuracy, pressure, or velocity; however, will be happy to read...
Well then, find out. But either do the tests yourself or only believe data and not opinion. You've been given data, but you shift the goal posts.
Really? I have only been loading since about 1972 and find Lee to make excellent dies. I prefer Hornady, but I still like Lee. Only problem with...
Never was an issue. At most, a lock ring needs 1/4-1/2 turn to hold die. When there was an issue, I simply removed the lock nut, removed the...
I have never found any dies by any maker superior to others (though Arbor press dies made with the same chambering tool as the barrel are probably...
You might still have a very slight too much remaining case mouth flare or the chamber is slightly dirty. Plunk Testing: The solution to chambering...
