I normally stick to loading revolvers, but I have loaded .32 ACP before. I started doing 10mm this weekend and I used a starting load of 7.2gr of Power Pistol under a 180gr Berry's thick plate bullet (it's rated for 1500 fps, so don't bother saying it's too much velocity for a plated bullet.)
Given I'm use to revolvers when I shake the case I can hear the powder inside so I know the bullet's not seated too deep and compressing the powder, but I've got one round I loaded and I can't hear the powder in the case when I shake it.
Is this normal?
I don't know how deep I can seat the Berry's bullet as none of the manuals I have use that specific bullet, but in general it seems anything 1.245" to 1.260" OAL is okay with 180gr bullets.
