you didnt state bullet size. the current lee loading manual has lots of load information for various bullets types and sizes and powders and each bullet type is sorted from highest to lowest velocity that should help pick something in the 357 magnum. if you check the 38 special loading, look...

i agree. after shooting 38 sp. when i wanted to use 357 mag cartridges, they would not go into the cylinder. after a lot of scrubbing, elbow grease, and time, finally got all the crud out so the 357 mag shells would load. now i just use 357 cartridge shells (i keep full load shells separate...

using factory loads in 100 gr 243 bullets, i get 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards. using imr4350 powder and speer 100 gr spbt bullets, i am getting the same grouping. rifle is remington 700 and not shot a lot so throat should be ok. in trying to get the oal of my reloads, i used a fired...

---I don't see where you described the results of the 23gr loads using the FCD. Looking at the rest of your commentary I'd guess they stuck as well. ---- i did not load any 23gr h110 with the lee fcd. this load was to see if any difference between remington and non-remington cases and NOT...

i reloaded 10 shells each with 22.5gr and 23 gr h110 in both remington and federal cases using winchester lp primers and 240gr hollow points. for five of each set, i used the lee factory crimp die and for the other five, used the rcbs seater crimp. what i had was four sets of five cartridges...

i have never killed a turkey at all. and my question is what size shot is used for turkey?

ok. i think i understand about the shot spreading out around the wad. but why isnt there a hole in the pattern from the shot that is directly behind the wad?

not necessarily with a .45 lc. any guage shotgun, what size (range?) shot could be used for turkey.

actually, i never shot shotgun shells and dont understand how the overpowder wad gets out of the way either.

how does the gas check in front of the shot get out of the way once the whole load exits the barrel? also, is there a shot size that can be used to take turkey?

thanks for all the comments. i am going to load up another twenty rounds. five rounds each using 23 and 23.5 grains of h110 and change the case to federals and winchester keeping the 240 gr winchester jacketed hollow point and winchester large primer and a light crimp using my standard...

clark - i am using a single shot pistol. the only reason i use FCD is because of literature that recommends a heavy crimp to ensure full powder burn. i believe that is why the hodgdon guy recommended LESS crimp to reduce the pressure spike. steve c - without any other changes other than...

remington brass

to clarify some questions, all my cases are loaded using lee turret press and the same die setting was used for all loads. the only difference was the powder. the bullet seats to the same overall length and does not hit the lands. based on all my reading, i have always used a heavy crimp on...

could i get some advice? developing a hunting load. shooting thompson contender 14 inch barrel using blue dot 16.2 gr in remington 44 mag case, 240 gr winchester jhp and winchester large pistol primer. i finish the load with lee factory crimp die. this shoots well in the contender, but not...
