Will be trying again as soon as I get a chance. Yes all the brass was sized. I also compared the outside diameter of the case neck of both my rounds to the underwood and the manuals and they were all in spec

This was the very first shot, so I can't reference any other rounds until I take it back out and try it again with that load(did not have a brass hammer and rod with me at the range.) As for the powder load being too light, accurate uses a cci 400 with loads, so i would have assumed a 450...

Also, if this load was undercharged, wouldnt the powder have still burnt instead of clumping and dumping out of the case. It looked like all the powder had remained in the case. I feel like the powder would have still burnt and sent the bullet farther into the barrel instead of just the throat.

This is brand new starline brass btw. As for the load, I referenced Lyman Reloading Handbook 49th ed, Modern reloading 2nd ed, and Accurate Powders Edition 3.4 Lyman's had a load using the same 240gr XTP/Mag bullet. AA9, starting 27.5gr to max of 29.0gr. 1.745" OAL Modern Handloading...

Will read through that thread now. After looking at the pictures would you still say that the squib was due to an insufficient crimp still tho?

Here are pictures of the fired case along with one of my reloads next to a round of underwood. My reload is the one closest to the fired case in each picture, the Underwood being farther away. The crimp on mine seems tighter than the underwood. Or would you suggest crimping even tighter?

Question for you guys. I recently purchased a SRH in 454 and loaded up some ammunition for it. 240gr Hornady XTP/MAG 28.2 gr AA 9 CCI 450 Small Rifle Mag primers 1.745" OAL I checked a few manuals and this is a mid range load for this powder and bullet weight. The issue was, I fired...

Have you ever tried pushing those 250gr in the 454 casull near max loadings or is that not recommended with it not being gas checked?

Will be shooting out of the SRH as well. Where do you buy your bullets from?

Going to start reloading for the 454 casull. Wondering which projectiles, weight and brand, you guys use for this. Going to be using for range use but will be loading to near max loadings. Trying to look for the best bargain on them. Also, does anyone load the 454 on the dillon square deal...
