thank you all for your help, I think I'll try to shorten the expander's first stage. A friend of mine is a tool and die maker, has his own machine shop. I'm betting he can do something for me. I hate to have to cull any brass lol. I'll let y'all know how it comes out.

Just tried some more, and it is what high caiber said, the cases aren't really buckling, but the first stage of the expander is causing the case to bulge out where the interior rim is. not sure how to fix this, as the first stage of the expander is rather long. Maybe I can cut off the first...

h110 for 357 and 44 mags, and longshot for 45 auto and 40 s&w auto.

not overexpanding, some of the brass isn't expanded enough to start bullet, but is buckling. I have only tried about twenty or so. brass is assorted. Have noticed that the blaser brass is the worst while the winchester brass or pmc not so bad, some of them didn't buckle at all. I am using one...

I was just getting started loading 380's, and have run into a problem. After sizing and decapping, I started with the expander die. The problem here is that the brass buckles slightly when I expand enough to start a cast bullet. Has anyone else had this problem? More importantly, Does anyone...

H110 does it for me. Have a sp101, gp 100 and a colt python I load for. Never used the zeroes, but 21.6 grains behind a hornandy 125 xtp is definately a handfull in the sp.

thank you all, the guns I'll be running these through are two colt pythons, a ruger sp101, and a ruger gp100. Lil gun was my second choice, but local supplier has none of that either. I really like the results I get with h110, hope 2400 works as well.

thank you ben, that's really what i was wondering. If that was a starting load or a max load. once again thanks

I usually use h110 with my 357 loads, local supplier has been out of it for some time now. So I bought some 2400 instead, dont really have any data for it except what i find on alliants web site. They list a load of 14.8 grains with a speer gdhp for a velocity of 1265. Anyone use 2400 with the...

H110 woriks well, havent tried all the others mentioned, but in my python it is great, have a ruger sp 101 that tries to jump ouuta my hand with a max charge of H110

I have owned a delta elite now for about 15 years, have yet to fire it. it is one of the few guns i own that i havent fired. think i'll just continue to collect this one. have three 45 auto's, one 40's production colt, one 1991 a1, and an officers model. love the shoot all of these.

well, didnt try the cast bullets with the longshot, found three 200 gr. hornandy hp xtp laying around, loaded them with 9.5 grains of the longshot. terrible results, had to use a brass rod and hammer to remove the bullets from my barrel. cases were blackened, even the one that made it out of...

thanks for the reply cambell, just wanted some other input. had decided to try 9 grains, may go a little lower, since i have a colt. once again, thanks

was recently given a few pounds of longshot powder, have never used it. but i do have a pile of 45 brass and some 255 rnfp cast bullets laying around. hogdens doesnt list a load using this powder for the 45 colt. but they do for the acp. any thoughts on using it for 45 colt or not? if so how...
