Could you elaborate? I'm guessing that you mean any shorter and neck of the casing is at the part of the bullet that starts to curve into a cone and thus not enough tension to prevent seatback?

Is this considered bad? Granted he said he bought it for his brother's kids, but 14,500 rounds in 2 days, store hopping, and being sold cases of it, kinda seems wrong. Oh well, it's his $800+tax to burn. Goes to show the stuff IS available. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXDXIZ2H9B4

Good to know. I will make sure to keep my Uniflow measure empty after each batch. Will try out my 4.1gr 1.135" loads later today. Have 800 of them

Thanks for all of your help guys. I managed to shorten my 1.180 loads to 1.135 and load another batch to the same. Sticking with my manual data for the first 1000 reloads. Figure by then all my stuff will have paid for itself in savings and I can get a chronograph to push hot loads. It is...

What manual gave you this load? I can understand the OAL due to the hp being shorter

They were running. A failure to eject now and then. About 3 out of 30

Isnt that still above SAAMI specs? Luckily for me the crimp was just enough were i need to reseat the rounds and not have to pull them. Good thing i only did 600

Yep. I actually like the idea of a 4.0gr load. That way 4lbs is 7000 rounds. Although I have read of folks going with 7gr

It is. My concer is safety amd gun wear with oal beyond saami

No harm at 1.180 if it fits? So far occassional FTE and damn good accuracy are the only differences I see from facrory

Any harm shooting it?

So I may have been using the wrong part of the calipers. There is an inner recessed area that I figured the bullet would go into, and it matched up to 0 just about right. maybe that's the issue? Using the tips of the calipers C.O.A.L measures more like 1.180".

Or .377 depending in where on the calipers you measure. Maybe thats the problem?

The measure of just at the mouth is .333

Uniflow powder measure and using the 505 to check

I'll add that these are the dirties casings to ever leave my gun

Casings were ejecting all over the place it seemed. Sometimes in front, sometimes in back, sometimes right at my face. but always in batches/groups of a few. MOST went out to the side and behind me, landing about 10 feet, like my factory loads and everyone else's did. It wasn't exactly like the...

Unfortunatly I don't have a chrono As for limp wristing, unlikely. I've never had a malfunction with factory ammo. I have only been shooting for a year, but never a FTE from factory loads.

New reloader here. I've spent weeks researching reloading and have made my first batch of rounds! But there are problems. I am reloading 9mm 124gr bullets from Xtreme Bullets. These are total metal jacket (completely plated in copper and rated for 1500fps), round nose, heavy plate concave...

The double tap was just for fun. I wasn't expecting it to go anywhere but on the paper. Fundamentals have been explained to me. I'm stuggling with the trigger pull I've gone down to 50 rounds per week now. I divide that time/ammo between 5 and 7 yards. I end up having 2 loose rounds that I...
