Hello all, I'm getting higher than book velocity on some uspsa loads I made up for this weekend using once fired brass, 230gr hornady HAP, 5.4gr hp38, winchester lpp, coal 1.235, crimp .4695- .4705. Avg 862fps, SD 14, ES 48. Loads are very accurate and recoil is lighter than factory wwb. Im...

Hello, I'm new to the forum. This is my first post so I'm not sure I'm doing this right, bear with me please, im new to reloading. My question is: what would cause my smith 629-6, 4 inch barrel 44 mag to chronograph velocities higher than reloading manual states. My load is new starline brass...

Decided to go ahead and shoot this test despite the high wind. The conditions were not perfect in any means. Had 15-20 mph wind with Gust to 30, direction 8:00. The saving grace was it was not constant and the direction was shielded by my house. So I tried to shoot these when the wind laid. Did...

Here is my question do you think a 124 grain XTP would hold up to rifle velocities out of my 18 inch .350 Legend? I think a 20 round mag of those would be just the ticket for HD!

Hey guys, I thought I'd ask the question here because everyone has been so good to me on this site. It's the best! Anyway, I've always seen Hornady Xtp bullets and cartridges and Winchester Silvertips(which some say are basically a ballistic tip) in the stores. Here lately I've been seeing(as...

I see the conventional wisdom is to seat the 124 gr. XTP to ~1.120" and my manual gives a min. OAL for generic 124 gr. jacketed bullets as 1.090". However when I go to do the plunk test in my new CZ 75B barrel with bullets seated for a COAL any longer than 1.080" the bullet profile engages the...

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 have used the search function and google but have come up with mostly old threads and incomplete info so I hope you can help me. I will be reloading 9mm Luger with Vihtavuori N340 powder and Hornady 124gr XTP bullets. These are intended for self defence, so I would like to run them as...
