    Hp38 and bullseye temperature sensitivity

    I don't load 230 much above 800 fps and really here we don't consider 85 to 90 degrees to be hot, just don't leave your ammo baking in the sun. That being said, just don't go above published loading data and you will be fine. Lafitte

    Beveling 9mm and Other Pistol Cases

    Beveling the edge of the case leaves a sharp edge on the case mouth. Since auto pistols head space on the front edge of the case I like a good flat edge on the case. If anything, I just lightly de-burr the inside of the case. Lafitte
