I used them in 185 grain 45acp. Was using bullseye powder. Can't remember the weight. After digging around in the berm expansion was non existent. It seemed like the point just plugged and turned it to a hardball.

What is a full power load? When you make that statement, I would think you would mean "... a full power load according to SAAMI specifications of [certain date]" and not a 'full power load' of 4,000 years from now. (When all firearms are made of whatever they used for Thor's...
Your 1960s m27 should be able to handle full power loads. Obviously like anything else mechanical it's possible for it wear out after significant use. From a metallurgical standpoint you can heat treat certain high carbon steels to the point where they can become brittle. In a gun you want...
Id wait. To me reloading data at first will be sparse. Finding the best powder in these might be hard. Components good luck on that. I don't see this taking off for a couple of years. If it doesn't take off you're stuck. Interesting concept though .
You're brother did good. I like steel cased ammo to use in the snow. Cause if you ever had to buzzard up brass melted into ice your fingers will bleed just trying to get it all. Steel cased 45 reloaded ammo shoots just like brass in the 45 acp. I tried steel cased 223 ammo and that on the other...
I used to work in a fast food restaurant and we kept a locking deposit bag stuffed full of napkins taped like money. And we actually were robbed and that's what they took.
I use aluminum gc's from Sage's outdoors on a Lee .311 sized 155 grain bullet. I did notice that every now and then they seem to gall when I install them on pc'd bullets. Maybe I'll try to install before I pc them. But this way I don't get a bulge in the case.
If it's red rust color and your sure that it's brass. That's bad because they zinc has leached out and what you're seeing is plain copper. If you tumble it in pins it may clean up. But those areas where it was may have developed a weak spot. A case rupture or crack may happen causing injuries or...
There's hardly any data available for this pistol powder. I was told that it was developed for the 9 mm military ammo. In 9 mm I use this with 5.0 grains of powder. With a 128 grain powder coated cast bullet seated to about 1.148 oal. Works well with multiple pistols. This is a compressed load...
When that happens to me. I still do something reloading related like. Pop primers out of brass and tumble. Casting lead bullets. Or powder coating. Maybe organizing my brass looking for cracks or inspecting them. Trimming rifle brass is pretty mundane. But still needs to be done. When it comes...
That happened to me as well. But with a coyote. Round flew right over his head. I my case the rifle was sighted in for 168 grain pills and that day I was using 147s.
I was Barbary sheep hunting in Southern New Mexico. We heard the sound of some rocks falling. So we just sat still. I was with my wife and daughter. After about 10 minutes of silence we saw them. There was three of them walking on a high ledge. As we were watching them the lead sheep skylined...
I use small rifle primers in my ar15s and my mini 14. And a few family members and friends have used my ammo in their rifles with no issues. If you could trade them for what you want its good. But if you can't. I'd go ahead and use them.
I haven't loaded them but have been saving them. I was thinking about starting very low with a powder like bullseye say 2 grains. With cast bullets and Chrono them work up from there. Imagine getting them to work good with something like 3 grains. You'll save a lot of powder if you shoot a lot...
