hp-38

Hi wondering if anyone has good load recipes for hp38 for 45 acp. The components I have on hand are RMR 230gr fmj, new starline brass and cci 300 primers as well as remington 2 1/2 primers. I was also curious about the interchangeability between these two primers. I'm looking for ball spec...

Looking to load 45 auto with the Speer 230 TMJ RN. Speer data gives a max of 6.3 grains N340 and 6.2 for W231 (HP-38). I've seen a few reports of inconsistencies with N340 downloaded in .45 auto. Anyone have poor results with N340 in 45 auto? Have a pet load with N340? Have a pet load with...

I recently bought a large quantity of pulled 9mm jacketed (not plated) bullets. It includes all sorts of weights and all sorts of configurations. A statistically valid sample was measured with a micrometer and found all sample units to be 0.3550 to 0.3552 in diameter. I plan on treating all...

Skulking around some rural gun shops over Columbus Day, I scored a box of Hornady 35 grain XTP bullet in .251 diameter (for use 25 ACP). Normally, when I develop a load, I will load ten rounds at the Starting load, followed by ten rounds at each increment between the Starting load and Maximum...

I wanted to get most of my reloading needs taken care of before I retired when my wife's and my income will drop. I'm nearly there. But during the shortages of the last few years, I was in the mode of "see powder, buy powder" and so I've got something of a mixed bag when it comes to pistol...

As many have elsewhere posted, it seemed in the run-up to Christmas, Gander Mountain raised all the prices in their retail stores. The one exception seemed to be powder and primers which were no higher than any place else in the area (and in some cases, cheaper). After they were sold and...

I shoot a Springfield XDs and a 1911 built on an Essex frame with a Barsto barrel and a list of nothing special parts. Both guns are reliable and never give any issues with factory ammo. Hardball, hollow points, personal defense, blazer brass, whatever. I tried reloading some and the XDs seems...

Hi all! Does anyone have in their books a load for a 9mm luger 115gr XTP using the HP-38 (Hodgdon brand) powder and also 115 gr FMJ using the HP-38 powder? My manuals don't have the load out for them using this powder(Lyman and Hornady) and I see variance compared to what is listed on the...
