Hey, yesterday I was shooting some 45 acp I loaded with unique. 230 GR FMJ's over 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 grains. they were shot from a SA XDs-45. The odd thing was the 6.4 grain load seemed to soot up the cases worse than the 6.2 grain loads.
I checked the diameter at the case mouth and it was in spec, and I've had no problems with bullet creep. So I believe I have an adequate crimp.
The same load ladder seemed to act the way I'd expect from my HK45, with the warmer load leaving the cases a bit cleaner.
They all worked properly, I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas why this would happen. They didn't seem terribly accurate though so I wonder if something else is going on.
