3 different loads evaluated. I specifically loaded up some 4.5grain rounds to run this test. The test compares 3.5, 4.0 & 4.5 grain loads. Other than powder throw, everything else is equal: 165 Rainier RNFP bullet, Federal brass (multiple firings), Winchester WSP primers, Hodgdon's Titegroup...

In this video, I attempt to use a newly acquired chronograph to test the 4.0 grain load and then further test the 3.7 grain load with 45 rounds slung down range. Finally, I test 5 rounds of 3.6 grain and 5 rounds of 3.5 grain. Slide is cycling beautiful with no FTF or FTE. Enjoy watching my...

I decided to plunk a few bucks down and get some Missouri Bullets IDP #2 SWC 170 gr. .40 S&W bullets. I currently have my press setup for running 165 grain Rainer plated bullets in .40 S&W throwing 4.5 gr. of Hodgdon Titegroup. I've never loaded a straight lead load and was looking for some...

Long story short, completely destroyed my G27 when I had a case head/web blowout at the 6'oclock position. This was round #10 in a 15 round magazine and the remaining 5 rounds had varying degrees of setback caused by the explosion. Happy to report I'm typing this with all fingers intact...
