The fastest burning powder I have is W-231. I'm loading Missouri Bullet Company's 125gr coated TCFP. I started at the published minimum of 3.8gr of W-231 and I loaded quite a few, more than I normally would at the beginning of a ladder......
They shot just fine, pretty accurately, no complaints.....but not the best I've seen, not by a long shot. Quiet and low recoil, which is what I'm looking for. A plinking load.......
They were dirty, quite a lot of gritties in the spent cases....... see image.
Part of me thinks:
As time goes on, I look more and more critically at my ammunition.....and see more and more what's wrong with it (as small of "thing" it might be) than what's right....
Is this a lot of grit, or am I being too critical? Help me out.
