    40 s&w & aa#5

    I've loaded a few test rounds for 40 S&W with Berry's 165 FP at 6.6 and 6.8 with a 1.13 OAL. Western Powder lists Rainier RNFP 165's at 6.5 to 7.6 @ 1.125 OAL. So I should be at the very bottom for this load plus I'm a little longer in OAL. I'm concerned with the way the primers have a crater or...

    Berry 124 HBRN & AA#2

    I've been loading 124 HBRN over 3.8gr of AA#2 @1.130 and like the accuracy. My question is Western Powders lists RN and HBFP in their latest guide as : RN 3.8 to 4.4 OAL 1.160 HBFP 3.3 to 4.1. OAL 1.060 Why the disparity? is it the hollow base or the profile. I'm good either way with the...

What are your thoughts on this? Is running...

    .40 155 HBRN Seconds 1000ct

    Anyone have experience with blemished bullets? I did a search on this topic and didn't see much here - I was on Berry's site Sunday night and saw .40 155gr in the "Special" Section - said they have a small ring on the top and it's only cosmetic and will not affect accuracy - they are gone now...

    HP-38 - .40 135 grain Rainier bullet load data help

    I picked up some HP-38 powder yesterday – I have 135 grain .40S&W Rainier Platted Bullets in the house – Rainer says to use 10% less then jacketed weights if lead info is not available – Also I believe that HP-38 and 231 are essentially the same powder – This is what I’ve found - Per Lyman...
