Hello,
New to reloading here, but I do have several friends that have been doing it for years. I've managed to stump them though.
So far I've made three different loads.
.45 colt, Winchester Brass, Federal LP, 6.5 gr of TiteGroup, and 200 gr RNFP from HSM.
.357 Magnum using Winchester brass, h110 powder, and federal small pistol magnum primers. One is a 125gr Sierra JHP with 21 grains of powder and the other is a 140 gr Hornady XTP with 17.1 grains of powder. Both of those loads are minimum loads by the books I have.
All of these loads are generating powder burn/residue on the outside of the brass and cylinders of the revolvers that I haven't seen with factory ammo. I've shot 5 rounds and then checked the 6th for bullet creep, but no issues there with the crimp.
